International Code Council Building Safety Bulletin: Porch Inspections U.S. Newswire
As Memorial Day approaches, the International Code Council is issuing a building safety bulletin urging the public to examine the safety and stability of their porches and balconies. Homeowners, condominium owners and renters should inspect porches, balconies and decks at least twice a year for safety.
'Porch collapses last summer in Chicago and New York resulted in injuries and deaths,' said International Code Council CEO James Lee Witt. 'Taking steps to secure porches now can go a long way in preventing disasters in the future.'
The most common mistake found when building porches and balconies is nailing them to homes instead of using proper anchors. Building to code, which requires a permit and an inspection, will help ensure that the structure is safe.------------------------------------------- posted 6:34 AM :: reference link ::
