Description
Ensuring the structural integrity of a building, along with the proper functioning of fire and life safety systems, the building envelope, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and fuel gas services, is essential to protect the health, safety, and welfare of both occupants and the public throughout the buildings use. The International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) mandates that both the interior and exterior of a building be kept in good repair, structurally sound, and free from hazards. This guideline provides an organized framework for identifying conditions that may require evaluation, action, or repair by a qualified professional, registered design professional, or code official. Implementing an assessment program can help address maintenance and repair needs before they become hazardous or require significant enforcement measures. This guideline also provides suggested minimum timeframes for building owners and the key elements to be included in such an assessment program.
