PRINTED IN THE U.S.A. 31 PREFACE Introduction Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modem, up-to-date property maintenance code governing the maintenance of existing buildings. The International Property Maintenance Code®, in this 2006 edition, is designed to meet this need through model code regulations that contain clear and specific property maintenance requirements with required property improvement pro- visions. This 2006 edition is fully compatible with all International Codes® (I-Codes®) published by the International Code Council (ICC)®, including the International Building Code®, ICC Electrical Code®-Administrative Provisions, International Energy Con- servation Code®, International Existing Building Code®, International Fire Code®, International Fuel Gas Code®, International Mechanical Code®, ICC Performance Code®, International Plumbing Code®, International Private Sewage Disposal Code®, Inter- national Residential Code®, International Wildland-Urban Interface Code and International Zoning Code®. The International Property Maintenance Code provisions provide many benefits, among which is the model code development process that offers an international forum for code officials and other interested parties to discuss performance and prescriptive code requirements. This forum provides an excellent arena to debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international consistency in the application of provisions. Development The first edition of the International Property Maintenance Code ( 1998) was the culmination of an effort initiated in 1996 by a code development committee appointed by ICC and consisting of representatives of the three statutory members of the International Code Council at that time, including: Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Con- ference of Building Officials (ICBO) and Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI). The committee drafted a com- prehensive set of regulations for existing buildings that was consistent with the existing model property maintenance codes at the time. This 2006 edition presents the code as originally issued, with changes reflected through the previous 2003 editions and further changes developed through the ICC Code Development Process through 2005. A new edition of the code is promulgated every three years. This code is founded on principles intended to establish provisions consistent with the scope of a property maintenance code that adequately protects public health, safety and welfare; provisions that do not unnecessarily increase construction costs; provisions that do not restrict the use of new materials, products or methods of construction; and provisions that do not give preferential treat- ment to particular types or classes of materials, products or methods of construction. Adoption The International Property Maintenance Code is available for adoption and use by jurisdictions internationally. Its use within a governmental jurisdiction is intended to be accomplished through adoption by reference in accordance with proceedings establish- ing the jurisdiction's laws. At the time of adoption, jurisdictions should insert the appropriate information in provisions requiring specific local information, such as the name of the adopting jurisdiction. These locations are shown in bracketed words in small cap- ital letters in the code and in the sample ordinance. The sample adoption ordinance on page v addresses several key elements of a code adoption ordinance, including the information required for insertion into the code text. Maintenance The International Property Maintenance Code is kept up to date through the review of proposed changes submitted by code enforc- ing officials, industry representatives, design professionals and other interested parties. Proposed changes are carefully considered through an open code development process in which all interested and affected parties may participate. The contents of this work are subject to change both through the Code Development Cycles and the governmental body that enacts the code into law. For more information regarding the code development process, contact the Codes and Standards Develop- ment Department of the International Code Council. While the development procedure of the International Property Maintenance Code ensures the highest degree of care, ICC, its membership and those participating inthe development of this code do not accept any liability resulting from compliance or non- compliance with the provisions because ICC does not have the power or authority to police or enforce compliance with the contents of this code. Only the governmental body that enacts the code into law has such authority. 2006 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE cooe4D Ill 32 Letter Designations in Front of Section Numbers In each code development cycle, proposed changes to this code are considered at the Code Development Hearings by the ICC Prop- erty Maintenance/Zoning Code Development Committee, whose action constitutes a recommendation to the voting membership for final action on the proposed changes. Proposed changes to a code section having a number beginning with a letter in brackets are considered by a different code development committee. For example, proposed changes to code sections that have the letter [F] in front of them (e.g., [F] 704.1) are considered by the International Fire Code Development Committee at the Code Development Hearings. The content of sections in this code that begin with a letter designation are maintained by another code development committee in accordance with the following: [F] = International Fire Code Development Committee; [P] = International Plumbing Code Development Committee; [F] = International Fire Code Development Committee; and [B] = International Building Code Development Committee. Marginal Markings Solid vertical lines in the margins within the body of the code indicating a technical change from the requirements of the previous edition. Deletion indicators in the form of an arrow ( •) are provided in the margin where an entire section, paragraph, exception or table has been deleted or an item in a list of items or a table has been deleted. Iv 2006 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE cool:® 33 ORDINANCE The International Codes are designed and promulgated to be adopted by reference by ordinance.

The resulting product better aligns the print and PDF versions of the I-Codes with the ICC’s Digital Code content. Additional information can be found at iccsafe.org/design-updates. Replacement of Marginal Markings with QR Codes Through 2021, print editions of the I-Codes identified technical changes from prior code cycles with marginal markings [solid vertical lines for new text, deletion arrows ( ), asterisks for relocations (*)]. The 2024 I-Code print editions replace the marginal markings with QR codes to identify code changes more precisely. A QR code is placed at the beginning of any section that has undergone technical revision. If there is no QR code, there are no technical changes to that section. In the following example from the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code® (IPMC®), a QR code indicates there are changes to Section 102 from the 2021 IPMC. Note that the change may occur in the main section or in one or more subsections of the main section. To see the code changes, the user need only scan the QR code with a smart device. If scanning a QR code is not an option, changes can be accessed by entering the 7-digit code beneath the QR code at the end of the following URL: qr.iccsafe.org/ (in the above exam- ple, “qr.iccsafe.org/abf893d”). Those viewing the code book via PDF can click on the QR code. All methods take the user to the appropriate section on ICC’s Digital Codes website, where technical changes from the prior cycle can be viewed. Digital Codes Premium subscribers who are logged in will be automatically directed to the Premium view. All other users will be directed to the Digital Codes Basic free view. Both views show new code language in blue text along with deletion arrows for deleted text and relocation markers for relocated text. Digital Codes Premium offers additional ways to enhance code compliance research, including revision histories, commentary by code experts and an advanced search function. A full list of features can be found at codes.iccsafe.org/premium-features. ACCESSING ADDITIONAL FEATURES VIA REGISTRATION OF BOOK Beginning with the 2024 International Mechanical Code® (IMC®) and the 2024 International Plumbing Code® (IPC®), users will be able to validate the authenticity of their book and register it with the ICC to receive incentives. Digital Codes Premium (codes.iccsafe.org) provides advanced features and exclusive content to enhance code compliance.

ABOUT THE I-CODES The 2024 I-Codes, published by the ICC, are 15 fully compatible titles intended to establish provisions that adequately protect public health, safety and welfare; that do not unnecessarily increase construction costs; that do not restrict the use of new materials, prod- ucts or methods of construction; and that do not give preferential treatment to particular types or classes of materials, products or methods of construction. The I-Codes are updated on a 3-year cycle to allow for new construction methods and technologies to be incorporated into the codes. Alternative materials, designs and methods not specifically addressed in the I-Code can be approved by the building official where the proposed materials, designs or methods comply with the intent of the provisions of the code. The I-Codes are used as the basis of laws and regulations in communities across the US and in other countries. They are also used in a variety of nonregulatory settings, including: • Voluntary compliance programs. • The insurance industry. • Certification and credentialing for building design, construction and safety professionals. SECTION 102—APPLICABILITY [A] 102.1 General. Where there is a conflict between a general requirement and a specific requirement, the specific requirement shall govern. Where differences occur between provisions of this code and the referenced standards, the provisions of this code shall apply. Where, in a specific case, different sections of this code specify different requirements, the most restrictive shall govern. 102.2 Maintenance. Equipment, systems, devices and safeguards required by this code or a previous regulation or code under which the structure or premises was constructed, altered or repaired shall be maintained in good working order. An owner, owner’s authorized agent, operator or occupant shall not cause any service, facility, equipment or utility that is required under this section to be removed from, shut off from or discontinued for any occupied dwelling, except for such temporary interruption as necessary while repairs or alterations are in prog- ress. The requirements of this code are not intended to provide the basis for removal or abrogation of fire protection and safety systems and devices in existing structures.

Code Development Process The code development process regularly provides an international forum for building professionals to discuss requirements for building design, construction methods, safety, performance, technological advances and new products. Proposed changes to the I- Codes, submitted by code enforcement officials, industry representatives, design professionals and other interested parties are deliberated through an open code development process in which all interested and affected parties may participate. Openness, transparency, balance, due process and consensus are the guiding principles of both the ICC Code Development Process and OMB Circular A-119, which governs the federal government’s use of private-sector standards. The ICC process is open to anyone without cost. Remote participation is available through cdpAccess®, the ICC’s cloud-based app. In order to ensure that organizations with a direct and material interest in the codes have a voice in the process, the ICC has devel- oped partnerships with key industry segments that support the ICC’s important public safety mission. Some code development committee members were nominated by the following industry partners and approved by the ICC Board: • American Gas Association (AGA) • American Institute of Architects (AIA) • American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) • International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) • National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) • National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) • National Council of Structural Engineers Association (NCSEA) • National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) • Plumbing Heating and Cooling Contractors (PHCC) • Pool and Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA), formerly The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) Code development committees evaluate and make recommendations regarding proposed changes to the codes. Their recom- mendations are then subject to public comment and council-wide votes. The ICC’s governmental members—public safety officials who have no financial or business interest in the outcome—cast the final votes on proposed changes. The I-Codes are subject to change through future code development cycles and by any governmental entity that enacts the code into law. For more information regarding the code development process, contact the Codes and Standards Development Depart- ment of the ICC at iccsafe.org/products-and-services/i-codes/code-development/. While the I-Code development procedure is thorough and comprehensive, the ICC, its members and those participating in the development of the codes expressly disclaim any liability resulting from the publication or use of the I-Codes, or from compliance or noncompliance with their provisions. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, IMPLIED, EXPRESSED OR STATUTORY, IS GIVEN WITH RESPECT TO THE I-CODES. The ICC does not have the power or authority to police or enforce compliance with the contents of the I-Codes. Code Development Committee Responsibilities (Letter Designations in Front of Section Numbers) In each cycle, proposed changes are considered by the Code Development Committee assigned to a specific code or subject matter. Committee Action Hearings result in recommendations regarding a proposal to the voting membership. Where changes to a code section are not considered by that code’s own committee, the code section is preceded by a bracketed letter designation identifying a different committee. Bracketed letter designations for the I-Code committees are: [A] = Administrative Code Development Committee [BE] = IBC—Egress Code Development Committee [BF] = IBC—Fire Safety Code Development Committee [BG] = IBC—General Code Development Committee [BS] = IBC—Structural Code Development Committee [E] = Developed under the ICC’s Standard Development Process [EB] = International Existing Building Code Development Committee [F] = International Fire Code Development Committee [FG] = International Fuel Gas Code Development Committee [M] = International Mechanical Code Development Committee Copyright © 2023 ICC.

This change expands the current process from two independent 1-year cycles to a single continuous 3- year cycle. There will be two groups of code development committees and they will meet in separate years. The current groups will be reworked. With the energy provisions of the International Energy Conservation Code® (IECC®) and Chapter 11 of the International Residential Code® (IRC®) now moved to the Code Council’s Standards Development Process, the reduced volume of code changes will be distributed between Groups A and B. Code change proposals submitted for code sections that have a letter designation in front of them will be heard by the respective committee responsible for such code sections. Because different committees hold Committee Action Hearings in different years, proposals for most codes will be heard by committees in both the 2024 (Group A) and the 2025 (Group B) code development cycles. It is very important that anyone submitting code change proposals understands which code development committee is responsible for the section of the code that is the subject of the code change proposal. Please visit the ICC website at iccsafe.org/products-and-services/i-codes/code-development/current-code-development-cycle for further information on the Code Development Committee responsibilities as it becomes available. Coordination of the I-Codes The coordination of technical provisions allows the I-Codes to be used as a complete set of complementary documents. Individual codes can also be used in subsets or as stand-alone documents. Some technical provisions that are relevant to more than one subject area are duplicated in multiple model codes. Italicized Terms Words and terms defined in Chapter 2, Definitions, are italicized where they appear in code text and the Chapter 2 definitions apply. Although care has been taken to ensure applicable terms are italicized, there may be instances where a defined term has not been italicized or where a term is italicized but the definition found in Chapter 2 is not applicable. For example, Chapter 2 of the Interna- tional Building Code® (IBC®) contains a definition for “Listed” that is applicable to equipment, products and services. The term “listed” is also used in that code to refer to a list of items within the code or within a referenced document. For the latter, the Chapter 2 definition would not be applicable. Adoption of International Code Council Codes and Standards The International Code Council maintains a copyright in all of its codes and standards. Maintaining copyright allows the Code Coun- cil to fund its mission through sales of books in both print and digital format. The Code Council welcomes incorporation by reference of its codes and standards by jurisdictions that recognize and acknowledge the Code Council’s copyright in the codes and standards, and further acknowledge the substantial shared value of the public/private partnership for code development between jurisdictions and the Code Council. By making its codes and standards available for incorporation by reference, the Code Council does not waive its copyright in its codes and standards. The Code Council’s codes and standards may only be adopted by incorporation by reference in an ordinance passed by the governing body of the jurisdiction. “Incorporation by reference” means that in the adopting ordinance, the governing body cites only the title, edition, relevant sections or subsections (where applicable), and publishing information of the model code or standard, and the actual text of the model code or standard is not included in the ordinance (see graphic, “Adoption of International Code Council Codes and Standards”). The Code Council does not consent to the reproduction of the text of its codes or standards in any ordinance. If the governing body enacts any changes, only the text of those changes or amendments may be included in the ordinance. Copyright © 2023 ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Accordingly, all I-Codes and I- Standards, along with the laws of many jurisdictions, are available to view for free at codes.iccsafe.org/codes/i-codes. These docu- ments may also be purchased, in both digital and print versions, at shop.iccsafe.org. To facilitate adoption, some I-Code sections contain blanks for fill-in information that needs to be supplied by the adopting juris- diction as part of the adoption legislation. For example, the IPMC contains: Section 101.1. Insert: [NAME OF JURISDICTION] Section 103.1. Insert: [NAME OF DEPARTMENT] Section 302.4. Insert: [JURISDICTION TO INSERT HEIGHT IN INCHES] Section 304.14. Insert: [DATES IN TWO LOCATIONS] Section 602.3. Insert: [DATES IN TWO LOCATIONS] Section 602.4.

INTRODUCTION TO THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE The IPMC establishes minimum requirements for the maintenance of existing buildings through model code regulations that contain clear and specific property maintenance and property improvement provisions. The IPMC is a maintenance document intended to establish minimum maintenance standards for basic equipment, light, ventilation, heating, sanitation and fire safety. Responsibility is fixed among owners, operators and occupants for code compliance. The IPMC provides for the regulation and safe use of existing structures in the interest of the social and economic welfare of the community. ARRANGEMENT AND FORMAT OF THE 2024 IPMC Before applying the requirements of the IPMC, it is beneficial to understand its arrangement and format. The IPMC, like other codes published by the ICC, is arranged and organized to follow sequential steps that generally occur during a plan review or inspection. ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL CODES AND STANDARDS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE What does “incorporate by reference” mean?If a governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) over code adoption wishes to adopt a model code for legislative or regulatory purposes, it will enact an ordinance, regulation or law to incorporate by reference (IBR) the relevant code. The actual text of the model code is not included in the law, but the enacting law will include the full text of any changes or amendments enacted by the legislative body of the AHJ. Step 1 The International Code Council updates the current model codes every three years. Step 5 1FSLZFLJNXRTINܪJI and amendments are added or recommended through the review process. Step 2 The International Code Council publishes the code both in print and online. Step 4 The adoption timeframe is set. Step 6 AHJs set effective date, and notify stakeholders working on projects. Step 3 The model code review process begins with governments. Step 7 Code is adopted into law through legislative or regulatory action, citing the title, edition and publishing information of the model code. 23-22359 Copyright © 2023 ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Chapter 1 is in two parts: Part 1—Scope and Application (Sections 101 and 102) and Part 2—Administration and Enforcement (Sections 103– 111). Section 101 identifies which buildings and structures come under its purview and references other I-Codes as applicable. This code is intended to be adopted as a legally enforceable document and it cannot be effective without adequate provisions for its administration and enforcement. The provisions of Chapter 1 establish the authority and duties of the code official appointed by the authority having jurisdiction and also establish the rights and privileges of the property owner and building occupants. Sections 105 and 106 have been extensively reorganized for the 2024 edition. For clarity, the relocation marginal markings have not been included.
