New York State Division of Building Standards and Codes Meeting Minutes of Various Building Code Councils

Chronological by date of meeting.

In 1981 the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code was enacted to supercede the outdated State Building Construction Code and State Building Conservation and Fire Protection Code. Among its provisions, the law established the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code Council and administratively placed it under the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR). The DHCR commissioner chaired the council.

In 1996, the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code was amended (Chapter 309) to provide for the transfer of the council and its activities to the Dept. of State.

This series consists primarily of meeting minutes. Associated material includes agendas; background material; public hearing documents; reports and studies on the operation and effectiveness of the code; local regulation restrictions, adoptions, or amendments to state building codes; and other documents pertaining to council activities.
