How are Building Regulations enforced?

The International Building Code (IBC) states the following:
104.1 General.
The building official is hereby authorized and directed to enforce the provisions of this code. The building official shall have the authority to render interpretations of this code and to adopt policies and procedures in order to clarify the application of its provisions. Such interpretations, policies and procedures shall be in compliance with the intent and purpose of this code. Such policies and procedures shall not have the effect of waiving requirements specifically provided for in this code.
Your local building official must develop a plan to implement and enforce the local codes in your area. Check with them to verify any code related information.
There may also be local, county, state and federal regulations that will over ride or clarify portions of the codes.
ALWAYS chech with the local building department for code related verification.
