The State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council (Code Council) recently adopted rules amending and updating the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (the Uniform Code), to be effective May 12, 2020. This edition of the Code Outreach Program intends to remind code users that Title 19 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (19 NYCRR) is the starting point for the Uniform Code and Energy Code provisions and to point out a few notable provisions that were added to 19 NYCRR for the Uniform Code update. A more detailed summary of the Uniform Code provisions which currently reside in 19 NYCRR can be found in Technical Bulletin TB-M000 titled “19 NYCRR Changes to the 2020 Codes.”
