International Building Code, 2015: The International Code Council's collection of building standards to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of people.

NYC Administrative Code: Building Code and Construction Codes, 2014: NYC's building and construction codes.

For other codes, handbooks, and standards, visit the Other Resources page of this guide. 

Restricted Use (MADCAD)

Due to licensing agreements, only one student may access each code provided above at a time. For this reason, we encourage you to use the resources, but to promptly close out when not in use. When possible we also recommend you print or copy sections you require and close out afterwards. This allows more students to access the resources. If your screen displays the image below, that means that another student is currently using that resource. We recommend you try accessing it again at a later time.
