Council moves to update borough building codes to 2021 International Codes with amendments

Picture Rocks Borough Council · May 4, 2026

Summary

After meeting with codes representative Victor Marquardt, council directed staff to draft an ordinance updating the borough's International Codes from 2017 to 2021 (first three chapters) with two borough amendments and to publish a 10‑day public review notice before voting.

The Picture Rocks Borough Council agreed on May 4 to update its adoption of the International Codes from the 2017 editions to the 2021 editions for the first three chapters and to add two borough-specific amendments. The decision followed a meeting with Victor Marquardt from the borough's codes office; the borough will draft an ordinance and run a newspaper notice giving residents 10 days to review the proposed text prior to a future council vote.

Council treated the item as a formal ordinance update rather than an immediate adoption; no final vote was taken at the May 4 meeting. The drafting step and public-notice period were authorized so residents can review the proposed code changes and borough amendments before council action.
