The Board of Building Inspection is meeting 07/16/2025 at 10AM.
They will be taking up what essentially appears to be an appeal by a resident of a determination made by the Inspections Division.
The resident installed a 10’x12’ shed without a permit. After a complaint was called in, the owner was issued a permit, but the inspector who reviewed the site noted several issues that were not up to code. One of the violations was that the shed was installed on concrete pavers, but because the shed is over 100 square feet the Inspection Division’s interpretation of the code is that a concrete slab is required. The owner does not accept that interpretation of the code.
Section 4-141(a) of the Municipal Code does seem to clearly state that unattached accessory buildings over 100 square feet shall be required to have a concrete slab. Per the code: “Unattached one- or 2-family accessory buildings shall be constructed on concrete slabs and shall conform to UDC and American Concrete Institute (ACI) standards. No concrete slab shall be required for accessory buildings where the structure does not exceed one hundred (100) square feet in area and the building is securely anchored.”
