Introduction Development Adoption PREFACE Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up -to -date property maintenance code governing the maintenance of existing buildings. The International Property Maintenance Code ®, in this 2015 edition, is designed to meet this need through model code regulations that con- tain clear and specific property maintenance requirements with required property improvement provisions. This 2015 edition is fully compatible with all of the International Codes') (I- Codes ®) published by the International Code Council (ICC)` "', including the International Building Code', International Energy Conservation Code ®, International Existing Building Code', International Fire Code ®, Interna- tional Fuel Gas Code ®, International Green Construction Code® , International Mechanical Code ®, ICC Performance Code', International Plumbing Code', International Private Sewage Disposal Code ®, International Residential Code®, International Swimming Pool and Spa CodeTm, International Wildland -Urban Interface Code'' and International Zoning Code ®. The International Property Maintenance Code requirements 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. 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 repre- sentatives of the three statutory members of the International Code Council at that time, including: Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) and Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI). The committee drafted a comprehensive set of regulations for existing buildings that was consistent with the exist- ing model property maintenance codes at the time. This 2015 edition presents the code as originally issued, with changes reflected through the previous 2012 edition and further changes developed through the ICC Code Development Process through 2013. A new edition of the code is promul- gated every 3 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. The International Code Council maintains a copyright in all of its codes and standards. Maintaining copyright allows ICC to fund its mission through sales of books, in both print and electronic formats. The International Property Maintenance Code is designed for adoption and use by jurisdictions that recognize and acknowledge the ICC's copyright in the code, and further acknowledge the substan- tial shared value of the public /private partnership for code development between jurisdictions and the ICC. The ICC also recognizes the need for jurisdictions to make laws available to the public. All ICC codes and ICC standards, along with the laws of many jurisdictions, are available for free in a non - downloadable form on the ICC's website. Jurisdictions should contact the ICC at adoptions @icc - safe.org to learn how to adopt and distribute laws based on the International Property Maintenance Code in a manner that provides necessary access, while maintaining the ICC's copyright. 2015 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE® INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL' Copyright 1) 2014 ICC.

Maintenance The International Property Maintenance Code is kept up to date through the review of proposed changes submitted by code enforcing officials, industry representatives, design professionals and other interested parties. Proposed changes are carefully considered through an open code develop- ment process in which all interested and affected parties may participate. The contents of this work are subject to change through both 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 Development Department of the Interna- tional Code Council. While the development procedure of the International Property Maintenance Code ensures the highest degree of care, the ICC, its members and those participating in the development of this code do not accept any liability resulting from compliance or noncompliance with the provisions because the 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. Code Development Committee Responsibilities (Letter Designations in Front of Section Numbers In each code development cycle, proposed changes to this code are considered at the Committee Action Hearings by the International Property Maintenance /Zoning Code Development Committee, whose action constitutes a recommendation to the voting membership for final action on the pro- posed 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 Committee Action Hearings. The content of sections in this code that begin with a letter designation is maintained by another code development committee in accordance with the following: [A] = Administrative Code Development Committee; [F] = International Fire Code Development Committee; [P] = International Plumbing Code Development Committee; [BE] = IBC — Means of Egress Code Development Committee; and [BG] = IBC — General Code Development Committee. For the development of the 2018 edition of the I- Codes, there will be three groups of code devel- opment committees and they will meet in separate years. Note that these are tentative groupings. iv INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL' 2015 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE® Copyright t) 2o] a ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

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 differ- ent committees hold code development hearings in different years, it is possible that some propos- als for this code will be heard by committees in both the 2015 (Group A) and the 2016 (Group B) code development cycles. For instance, every section of Chapter 1 of this code is designated as the responsibility of the Administrative Code Development Comrnittee, and that committee is part of the Group B portion of the hearings. This committee will hold its code development hearings in 2016 to consider all code change proposals for Chapter 1 of this code and proposals for Chapter 1 of all I -Codes except the International Energy Conservation Code, International Residential Code and ICC Performance Code. Therefore, any proposals received for Chapter 1 of this code will be assigned to the Administrative Code Development Committee for consideration in 2016. It is very important that anyone submitting code change proposals understand which code devel- opment committee is responsible for the section of the code that is the subject of the code change proposal. For further information on the code development committee responsibilities, please visit the ICC website at www.iccsafe.org /scoping.

AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES THEREUNDER_ EFFECTIVE USE OF THIE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE The International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) is a model code that regulates the minimum maintenance requirements for existing buildings. 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 2015 IPMC Before applying the requirements of the IPMC it is beneficial to understand its arrangement and for- mat. The IPMC, like other codes published by ICC, is arranged and organized to follow sequential steps that generally occur during an inspection. The IPMC is divided into eight different parts: Chapters Subjects 1 Administration 2 Definitions 3 General Requirements 4 Light, Ventilation and Occupancy Limitations 5 Plumbing Facilities and Fixture Requirements 6 Mechanical and Electrical Requirements 7 Fire Safety Requirements 8 Referenced Standards The following is a chapter -by- chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the Inter- national Property Maintenance Code: Chapter 1 Scope and Administration. This chapter contains provisions for the application, enforcement and administration of subsequent requirements of the code. In addition to establish- ing the scope of the code, Chapter 1 identifies which buildings and structures come under its pur- view. Chapter 1 is largely concerned with maintaining "due process of law" in enforcing the property maintenance criteria contained in the body of the code. Only through careful observation of the administrative provisions can the building official reasonably expect to demonstrate that "equal protection under the law" has been provided. Chapter 2 Definitions. All terms that are defined in the code are listed alphabetically in Chapter 2. While a defined term may be used in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 is applicable throughout the code. Where understanding of a term's definition is especially key to or necessary for understanding of a particular code provision, the term is shown in italics wherever it appears in the code. This is true only for those terms that have a meaning that is unique to the code. In other words, the generally understood meaning of a term or phrase might not be sufficient or consistent with the meaning pre- scribed by the code; therefore, it is essential that the code - defined meaning be known. Guidance is provided regarding tense, gender and plurality of defined terms as well as terms not defined in this code. 2015 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE® vii INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL' Copyright ci 2014 ICC.

Chapter 3 General Requirements. Chapter 3, "General Requirements," is broad in scope. It includes a variety of requirements for the exterior property areas as well as the interior and exterior elements of the structure. This chapter provides requirements that are intended to maintain a min- imum level of safety and sanitation for both the general public and the occupants of a structure, and to maintain a building's structural and weather- resistance performance. Chapter 3 provides specific criteria for regulating the installation and maintenance of specific building components; mainte- nance requirements for vacant structures and land; requirements regulating the safety, sanitation and appearance of the interior and exterior of structures and all exterior property areas; accessory structures; vehicle storage regulations and establishes who is responsible for complying with the chapter's provisions. This chapter also contains the requirements for swimming pools, spas and hot tubs and the requirements for protective barriers and gates in these barriers. Chapter 3 establishes the responsible parties for exterminating insects and rodents, and maintaining sanitary conditions in all types of occupancies. Chapter 4 Light, Ventilation and Occupancy Limitations. The purpose of Chapter 4 is to set forth these requirements in the code and to establish the minimum environment for occupiable and habitable buildings, by establishing the minimum criteria for light and ventilation and identifies occupancy limitations including minimum room width and area, minimum ceiling height and restric- tions to prevent overcrowding. This chapter also provides for alternative arrangements of windows and other devices to comply with the requirements for light and ventilation and prohibits certain room arrangements and occupancy uses. Chapter 5 Plumbing Facilities and Fixture Requirements. Chapter 5 establishes the mini- mum criteria for the installation, maintenance and location of plumbing systems and facilities, including the water supply system, water heating appliances, sewage disposal system and related plumbing fixtures. Sanitary and clean conditions in occupied buildings are dependent upon certain basic plumbing principles, including providing potable water to a building, providing the basic fixtures to effectively utilize that water and properly removing waste from the building. Chapter 5 establishes the mini- mum criteria to verify that these principles are maintained throughout the life of a building. Chapter 6 Mechanical and Electrical Requirements. The purpose of Chapter 6 is to establish minimum performance requirements for heating, electrical and mechanical facilities and to estab- lish minimum standards for the safety of these facilities. This chapter establishes minimum criteria for the installation and maintenance of the following: heating and air - conditioning equipment, appliances and their supporting systems; water heating equipment, appliances and systems; cooking equipment and appliances; ventilation and exhaust equipment; gas and liquid fuel distribution piping and components; fireplaces and solid fuel- burning appliances; chimneys and vents; electrical services; lighting fixtures; electrical receptacle outlets; electrical distribution system equipment, devices and wiring; and elevators, escalators and dumb- waiters. Chapter 7 Fire Safety Requirements. The purpose of Chapter 7 is to address those fire hazards that arise as the result of a building's occupancy. It also provides minimum requirements for fire safety issues that are most likely to arise in older buildings. This chapter contains requirements for means of egress in existing buildings, including path of travel, required egress width, means of egress doors and emergency escape openings. Chapter 7 establishes the minimum requirements for fire safety facilities and fire protection sys- tems, as these are essential fire safety systems.

Chapter 8 Referenced Standards. The code contains numerous references to standards that are used to regulate materials and methods of construction. Chapter 8 contains a comprehensive list of all standards that are referenced in the code. The standards are part of the code to the extent of the reference to the standard. Compliance with the referenced standard is necessary for compli- ance with this code. By providing specifically adopted standards, the construction and installation requirements necessary for compliance with the code can be readily determined. The basis for code compliance is, therefore, established and available on an equal basis to the code official, contractor, designer and owner. Chapter 8 is organized in a manner that makes it easy to locate specific standards. It lists all of the referenced standards, alphabetically, by acronym of the promulgating agency of the standard. Each agency's standards are then listed in either alphabetical or numeric order based upon the stan- dard identification. The list also contains the title of the standard; the edition (date) of the standard referenced; any addenda included as part of the ICC adoption; and the section or sections of this code that reference the standard. 2015 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE® ix INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL' Gr pynght © 2014 I((_ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
