Transcription:

The 2015 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC ) continues to emphasize protection to health, safety and welfare in all existing structures, including both residential and nonresidential property, while providing code requirements that are enforceable in the diverse types of building environments that exist nationally. The IPMC addresses the minimum property maintenance conditions for existing structures and premises concerning structural safety, sanitation, health and comfort and speaks to the determination and assignment of responsibility for code compliance among the owner, operator and occupant of a property. The key components of this code include provisions for a safe means of egress, the remediation of hazardous structural conditions and a clean and sanitary environment. The code furthers the goal of consistent code enforcement through its use of reference codes, particularly the 2015 International Fire Code (IFC ). Goal Participants will be able to use this document to identify changes from the 2012 IPMC to the 2015 IPMC, allowing them to apply the code requirements for the proper maintenance, inspection and violation remediation of existing buildings and premises.
