Building Code Enforcement Law Reminder

There's still time to revise your local law to administer the state building code before January 1, 2007, when the new regulations take effect. I've spent much of the last two days working on the laws for a few towns that haven't touched their laws since adopting the model law that circulated in 1985, and found that only a few major changes were required along with a host of small tweaks. If you want to start fresh or just need some model language, the Department of State has both the new regulations and a sample local law available here.
