BIBLIOGRAPHY AND REFERENCES

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the present publication is to enable the Building Designers (Architects and Engineers), Contractors and owners to fully comply with the requirements of the New York City Building Code, Fire Code, International Building Code, International Fire Code, Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State, International Energy Conservation Code and Zoning Resolution.

While being part of the team of Building Plan Examiners in the Borough of Queens, Staten Island, Bronx and Manhattan, I worked to organize the requirements of the Codes into Guidelines Data Base System.

The knowledge of these Guidelines will augment the confidence of architects and professional engineers to improve the approval of documentation forwarded, utilizing the Department of Building Self Certification of Objections. Also by using the Guidelines and computerizing the entire process of verification, the professionals will be the first and main verifiers of their proper documentation forwarded for approval.

This is the principal objective in my previous proposal of The Department of Buildings. The second objective was to reduce the Red Tape (by reducing the time period of verification by the plan examiners), using the computers for the entire process, without to wait weeks and sometimes months with appointments to the plan examiners and the executive offices of the city boroughs. I want to acknowledge the help of the former Borough Commissioner in Queens, Phil Olin (deceased), former Department of Building Commissioner New York City, Joel A. Miele Sr., Deputy Borough Commissioner Satish Babad, Barry G. Cox Deputy Commissioner New York City and the Chief Engineer Manhattan Borough, Finkelstein.

In the meantime, I appreciated the full cooperation of the majority of architects and engineers from Queens, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Manhattan.

I thank them all

Siegfried Wyner
