Good Afternoon,
As I am sure many of you know, NJ’s adoption of the 2015 Building Code will require stricter requirements for many properties located within a Flood Hazard Area. Please take a moment to review the attached memo and summary sheet provided by ASCE’s as they may per pertinent to you, your clients, or your neighbors.
While there is a 6-month grace period whereby the 2009 code may still be used, this will expire 03/20/2016, and all permit applications received after that date will be required to comply with the stricter design and construction requirements.
Thank you.
