Board asks applicant to update construction documents to 2025 building code and verify occupant load

Staff told the applicant that the project's construction documents must be updated to reflect changes in the New York State 2025 uniform building code, including the energy-code updates that affect building envelopes and insulation. The chair asked the applicant's designer to provide calculations demonstrating the building's occupant load and fixture counts so the board can verify exits and restroom requirements.
