BACKGROUND
The changes to Chapter 52, “Administrative Procedures for the Construction Codes,” involve an amended scope, recognizing the new swimming pool and spa code, amended referenced codes and standards, amended definitions, clarifying who may obtain and do work under a permit; requirements for a nonregistered professional in responsible charge, authority for the building official to accept reports from approved inspection agencies, deleted the requirement for registration fees for mechanical contractors registered with state; adding a new Section 301.4.7.8, “Contractor Agent In Responsible Charge”; adding a new Section 304.1.5, “Inspection During Declared Disaster”; and adding a new Section 304.14, “Tiny House Inspections.” The remaining changes are editorial changes and changes to be consistent with the adoption of the Mass Timber provisions.
