This code covers repair, alteration, addition and change of occupancy for existing buildings. and historic buildings, while achieving appropriate levels of safety without requiring full compliance with the new construction requirements contained in the other I-Codes.

When significant portions of a building?s exterior wall coverings or exterior wall envelope are added or replaced, they must comply with the requirements of Chapters 14 and 26 of the IBC. Snow loads must be addressed during repair of substantial structural damage regardless of whether the damage was a result of snow.

Additional equipment may be added to a roof without a full structural analysis when the equipment weighs less than 400 pounds and is less than 10 percent of the total roof dead load. With a change of occupancy, a seismic analysis is required for a Group S or Group U occupancy changing to a new occupancy. Furniture, such as office cubicles, reception desks or smaller bookcases, are exempt from a permit and not intended to be a Level 2 alteration. Sprinkler requirements for Level 2 and Level 3 alterations are revised for higher hazard areas.
