I am installing a new elevator in an existing building. Does it need to comply with the requirements for medical emergency elevators?
If the building was built prior to 1/26/1988, the elevator does not have to comply with the requirements for medical emergency elevators.
How do I know if the equipment is still approved?
Make sure that the equipment approval has not expired by checking the equipment approval letter. Each letter has an approval and expiration date that is indicated on the top right hand of the letter.
How are the fees calculated for a TCO?
The fees are calculated by the type of occupancy.
Do temporary structures need to comply with DA requirements?
Disabled access requirements apply to both temporary and permanent structures.
Why can't I infiltrate stormwater on my property?
Sites in most hillside areas, within potentially liquefiable zones, where infiltration rates are too low, or where the earth materials exhibit adverse conditions when saturated (e.g., expansive or hydro collapsible soils) are generally not allowed to infiltrate stormwater.
