New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 5 - COMMUNITY AFFAIRS › Chapter 23 - UNIFORM CONSTRUCTION CODE › Subchapter 6 - REHABILITATION SUBCODE › Section 5:23-6.1 - Introduction; using this subcode

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) This section is a
				guide to the use of the rehabilitation subcode. It should not be interpreted as
				containing substantive requirements and it is not intended to be cited for
				enforcement purposes.
1. The provisions of the
				other subcodes of the Uniform Construction Code do not apply to work in existing
				buildings, changing the use of an existing building or work in an existing building
				related to an addition unless the provisions of this subcode specifically reference
				them and make them applicable.
2.
				Traditionally, the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code has made the requirements
				that are applicable to new buildings also apply to buildings whose use is changed;
				applicable to buildings undergoing rehabilitation with the extent of the
				requirements depending on the amount of money being spent on the building; and to
				some extent applicable to existing buildings that have an addition constructed.
				Buildings whose use was changed and buildings receiving rehabilitation costing more
				than 50 percent of the replacement cost of the building were required to comply with
				all the provisions of the Uniform Construction Code for new buildings.
3. This subcode takes a new approach. The
				requirements that apply to a project are based upon the type of work being done
				rather than on the extent of the work. There is only one exception to this rule. In
				the case of reconstruction work, as the term reconstruction is defined in this
				subcode, there are some requirements which must be met when the project is a large
				one in floor area.
4. In this subcode,
				work is classified into six categories. Each category has a separate section which
				describes the requirements for that category of work. The categories are repair,
				renovation, alteration, reconstruction, change of use and additions. These terms are
				defined in 5:23-6.3. The definitions are critical
				to understand the distinctions between these six categories of work. Where a project
				contains more than one category of work, each applicable category must be consulted
				for the requirements for that category of work.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 5 - COMMUNITY AFFAIRS › Chapter 23 - UNIFORM CONSTRUCTION CODE › Subchapter 6 - REHABILITATION SUBCODE › Section 5:23-6.3A - Flood-resistant construction

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) For buildings in
				designated flood hazard areas, any work that constitutes a substantial improvement
				or repair of substantial damage of the existing building, as determined by the local
				floodplain administrator, shall comply with the applicable flood-resistant
				construction requirements below. As defined in the National Flood Insurance Program
				rules, 44 CFR
				59.1, "'substantial improvement' means any
				reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement of a structure, the
				cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure
				before the 'start of construction' of the improvement. This term includes structures
				which have incurred 'substantial damage,' regardless of the actual repair work
				performed." As defined in these Federal rules, "'substantial damage' means damage of
				any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to
				its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of
				the structure before the damage occurred."
