I recently came across structural drawings in NYC stamped by an architect. Does anyone know if that is legal? The building is a 3 story steel framed structure. There were major issues in the design that made me wonder how that is allowed.

Thanks for the insight.

In Alabama, architects are allowed to design structures in so far as they will adhere to prescriptive design methods and limitations. If they get into a design that has to stray from those, and apply structural engineering design principles, then they are expected to hire a structural engineer to support that design.
