Universal Citation: 780 CMR MA Code of Regs 104.12
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

In recognition of the inherent difficulty of drafting a functional code that contemplates every situation that may arise in the area of building safety, this section provides the building official, the building code appeals board, or the BBRS itself, with reasonable discretion to ensure that all life safety issues that may arise in the enforcement of this code may be appropriately addressed. Matters not specifically provided for in this code regarding structural, egress, fire, energy, sanitary or other requirements essential to occupant safety shall be determined by the building official or, in the case of an appeal, the building code appeals board. If this provision is used, the building official shall notify the BBRS in writing within seven days of such determination. For highly specialized buildings and structures that conform to unique code requirements or nationally recognized standards not required in this code, registered design professionals shall provide sufficient information to the building official to support their approval. For fire protection design, see Chapter 9: Fire Protection Systems.
