2010 Existing Building Code of New York State
2010 Existing Building Code of New York State
(OP)
Section 506.1 states "Seismic provisions of this chapter shall only apply to buildings built after January 1, 2003." In the state of NY, the applicable building code prior to January 1, 2003, was the State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (the Uniform Code). The Uniform Code does not have any requirements for seismic design. Does this imply that when repairing an existing building that was built PRIOR to January 1, 2003, there are no seismic design requirements?

Glad to see that it was deleted. When the New Madrid goes, it will be felt in NY.
