The city of Hazelwood has adopted the IRC or International Residential Code for building regulations. As part of this new code, Granada will be required to make major alterations to all of the balconies in Granada at a very large expense.
The International Residential Code (IRC) is a comprehensive, stand-alone residential code that creates minimum regulations for one- and two-family dwellings of three stories or less. It brings together all building, plumbing, mechanical, fuel gas, energy and electrical provisions for one- and two-family residences. The IRC also provides a prescriptive approach (i.e., a set of measures) and a performance approach (i.e., energy modeling) for determining compliance.
