HB 1507: Building Certificate of Occupancy

H.B. 1507, P.N. 1841 (WILT) This would amend the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act 45 of 1999, P.L. 491.
A building which did not have a certificate of occupancy prior to April 10, 2004 would be issued such a certificate if it meets the fire protection requirements and is safe and sanitary. A code administrator would be prohibited from requiring changes designed to meet egress requirements that are technically infeasible and would liberally construe that such a building should remain occupied.
