units in buildings with one or more elevators

ffffffffff——————————
11B-233.3.1.2.5 Multistory residential dwelling
units in buildings with no elevator.

GGGGG
tie together……
-what counts as a covered multi-family unit?

-do all covered muti-family units need to be on an accessible route

A

helpful fact…townhouses can be coverd…all covered on 1st foor or elevator floor to be adaptable //EXCPECT code says multi-story units can comply with diff section…

  1. Definition of Covered Multi-Family housing:
    - (3) apt/ (4) condos (fire walls dont count). only ground floor units count in on elev buildings
  2. Definition of Townhouse:
    - single family foundation to roof f, own egress, open space 2+ sides, attached
  3. Can a townhouse also be multi-family?
    yes–90% sure
  4. (2) apt / (3) condo townhouse
    - code version: CRC
    - acc version: CRC ….so like none
    - acc details: CRC…. so like none
  5. (3) apt / (4) condo townhouse (or more)
    - code version: CRC
    - acc version: 11a (cause multi-fam)
    - acc details: 10% ground floor units acc + powder room
  6. (3) apt / (4) condo, flats, no elev
    - code version: CBC
    - acc version: 11a
    - acc details: all ground floor units 11a adaptable (bc ground = covered)
  7. (3) apt / (4) condo, flats, elev
    - code version: CBC
    - acc version: 11a
    - acc details: all units (bc covered)
  8. (3) apt / (4) condo, multi unit, no elev
    - code version: CBC
    - acc version: 11a
    - acc details: 10% units acc ground floor + power room
  9. (3) apt / (4) condo, multi unit, elev
    - code version: CBC
    - acc version: 11a
    - acc details: all units = acc 1st level + power + kitchen
  10. can mobility units be multi-story…not without its own elevator. all room accessible.
  11. max stories for 11a building w/o elevator? 4 stores (chapter 10 egress requires one or some tricks for more than 4 stories above level of exit)
  12. all 11b need an elevator with a few exceptions
    - private funds, 2 story
    - private funds, 3000 sf max floors
    - few other private fund less common
  13. 11B mobility units only apply to the mobility units and spaces serving the unit. so if mobility units are on the ground floor and there are no common spaces above the bld would not need an elevator (the all 11b bld need an elevator does not apply here because its only the mobility units that need to comply with very specific portions of 11 b and an accessible route to those units)

Q

Steps to file a mechanics lien?

What is the timing on enforcing the mechanics lien?

A
  1. Send Preliminary notice to preserve lien right within 20days of proving labor or material (for everyone except GC and Architect)
  2. Send owner notice of Mechanics lien (certified mail)
  3. Record mechanics lien County Recorders office in county of PROJECT (can come immediately after owner notice)
  4. Enforce mechanics lien file filing a lawsuit to force foreclosure.

FORECLOSURE CORDING timing:
before owner files “notice of cessation”: 90 days

After owner files “notice of cessation”

  • 60 days for Prime contracts (and Architect I assume)
  • 30 days for subcontractors

LAWSUIT ENFORCEMENT 90 days after filing but can be mutually extended to no more than 1 year

A

long beach earthquake: 1933 fields act, then DSA

Sylmar earthquake: 1971 = original hospital seismic safety act in 1983

north ridge earthquake: 1994, hospital seismic safety act update… hospitals built to the 1983 HSSA held up great..others did not = update to act in 1994 after the north ridge earthquake

what type of hospitals does the HSSA apply to: general acute care….note that acute gain means inpatient opposed to Ambulatory care which would be outpatient. being acute care alone does not make this a type IV occupany risk category (it would need to provide EMERGENCY SURGERY OR ER)

SPC: HSSA “structural performance rating”
SPC 1 = major risk
SPC 5 = reasonably capable of surviving quake

SPC 1 must be updated or removed by 2020
SPC 2 must be updated or removed by 2030
campus with all SPC 3,4,5 good to go for 2030
————————–
HSSSA, when was non-structural bracing required: 2002
————————
HSSSA when was/is 1st step in structural upgrades required:
-original dates: 8, 13, 20
-current extension dates: 22/25
-what does this mean: upgrade SPC1 to SPC2 by 2022 or rebuilt new by 2025
————————
HSSSA. ultimately what must buildings achieve by what date: all buildings SPC 3,4,5 by 2030

(note, hospitals that took the 2025 extension will be built to new standards and would probably hit the SPC5 rating…clever shits)

——————from OSHPD.GOV—————
Structural Performance Category (SPC) Ratings
All general acute care hospital buildings are assigned a structural performance category (SPC). SPC ratings range from 1 to 5 with SPC-1 assigned to buildings that may be at risk of collapse during a strong earthquake and SPC 5 assigned to buildings reasonably capable of providing services to the public following a strong earthquake. State law requires all SPC-1 buildings to be removed from providing general acute care services by 2020 and all SPC-2 buildings to be removed from providing general acute care services by 2030. Therefore, a hospital facility that may be comprised of a number of hospital buildings meets the 2020 requirements if there are no SPC 1 buildings on campus. A hospital facility meets the 2030 requirements if all the buildings on campus are either SPC 3, 4 or 5.

Q

what types of occupancies have to follow the entire code and have no use for the adoption matrix at all (unless they are state owned)

What if one of these occupanies is state owned?

A

B, S, M

What if one of these occupanies is state owned? follow BSC under matrix adoption

Q

existing building code compliance methods

How to determine fire rating of exiting building components:

unique thing required for exiting buildings:

accessibility:

unique ramp code:

A
  1. Prescriptive compliance method- most conservative
  2. Work Area compliance method (not adopted by CA).. bigger the area of work bigger the requirements
  3. performance compliance method (not adopted by CA)- proved safety will be contained

How to determine fire rating of exiting building components: appendix in existing building code (looks kinda like the chapter 7 fire assembly charts)

unique thing required for exiting buildings:
1. peer review (independent struct eng hired by owner and not working on project)
2. reports at SD, DD, end of CD (before plan check) to AHJ
3. design
————————————————
accessibility:
1. only one accessible entrance required
2. at least on accessible path to all primary function areas
3. parking/ loading if provided and route
4. comply with 11a/11b where TECHNICALLY infeasible do what you an.
5. alt to primary function area require toilet facitlity and drinking fountain.
———exceptions: over 20% total buget
———exceptions: only windows, mech, elec, sprinklers, or increasing acc

unique ramp code:
up to 1:10 (10%) for 6” rise
up to 1:8 (12.5%) for 3” rise

A
  1. garages: 40
  2. residential: 40, 40/40 (this induces hospital patient rooms and jail cells (100, 100/100 at public spaces)
  3. class rooms: 40, 100/80
  4. Offices: 50, 100/80
  5. fixed seating assembly: 60, 100/100
  6. other assembly: 100, 100/100
