HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS
403.1 Applicability.
The provisions of this section shall apply to buildings with an occupied floor located more than 75 feet (22 860 mm) above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access."
NFPA has a definition for high-rise structures which is consistent with IBC Sec 403.
What is considered high-rise in Washington DC...what do the codes (fire & building)say? I do not have a clue...but am interested in finding out.

google, google...yup. It's not the Capitol, it's not the Washington Monument, it's the 1910 Height Act. No more than 20 ft taller than the distance between buildings across a street or avenue. Means 130 ft. max in most parts of the city, 160 ft. along some parts of Pennsylvania Avenue.
