Definition

In Depth
The New York City Building Code is one of the most complex in the United States, with extensive local requirements that differ significantly from the IBC. NYC maintains its own building code rather than adopting the IBC, with unique provisions for means of egress, fire protection, structural loading, and construction administration.
The NYC-specific requirements include unique provisions for egress from high-rise buildings (additional stairway, area of refuge requirements), fire protection requirements that exceed the IBC (specific requirements for standpipe coverage and sprinkler system design), and structural loading provisions that address the city's specific wind and snow conditions. AI compliance checking for NYC projects must check against this distinct code rather than the IBC.
