What Building Code Is Used In New York City??

[tweedledee]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what Building Code Is Used In New York City?? Another forum indicated it was a modified version of the 2000 IBC. Is there an actual State Building Code, like there is in Massachusetts, or do they use parts of one code and reference you to a different code?

Where can I get this code?

Thanks

New York City has its own local codes, separate from New York State.

It's a good idea to check on the web instead of just posting a question. Many times you can answer your own question with a google search, and in more detail. It took about 2 minutes of search and reading to find below:

The second half of your question:

Go to: http//nyc.gov/citystore

then click on "municipal publications"
then click on "rules & regulations"

The City is considering the adoption of a modified version of IBC.

There is a NYS Building Code however, in NY City it only applies to NY State owned buildings.
