FOOTINGS, KINDS OF— The footing courses shall be of stone or concrete, or stepped up brickwork, or steel beams bedded in concrete, or a combination of any of the same; all to be of sufficient thick- ness, strength and breadth to safely bear the weight to be im- posed thereon. All foundations of buildings except those of the VII class less than three (3) stories high, shall have footings at least eight (8) inches wider than the wall and twelve (12) inches wider all around than the piers or columns. BUILDING CODE 235 Sec. 389. CONCRETE FOOTINGS— If the footing courses be of concrete, the concrete shall not be less than twelve (12) inches thick per course. If of cement concrete the offsets shall not exceed one-third {Yi), and if of Portland the offsets shall not exceed three-fourths (%) of the thickness of each course, or, after the first course is laid the sides up to the bottom of other footings or base plates or foundation walls may be battered from the edges of the lower course with the above ratio. Nothing in this section shall be so construed as to prevent the use of reinforced or armored concrete for footings, or in foundations if properly proportioned (See Title X) and other- wise complying with the conditions fixed for other materials in this Code. Sec. 390. STONE FOOTINGS— Stone footings shall consist of large slabs and shall be at least six (6) inches thick ; the offsets shall not exceed seven- eighths (%) the thickness of each footing course, including last offset at founation wall.

If footings are laid in single courses they shall be heading courses with offsets not exceeding two (2) inches, and if laid in double courses, the upper being headers, the offset shall not exceed four (4) inches, provided, that when stone or brick are used exclusively for footings the foundation be equalized with a heavy layer of coarse mortar to insure uniform bearing under the entire footings, or stone and brick, footings may be used in combination with concrete or steel and concrete forming the lower course or courses. Sec. 392. STEEL RAILS OR BEAMS IN CONCRETE— If steel or iron rails or beams are used as parts of founda- 236 BUILDING CODE tions they must be coupled together and laid on a Portland concrete course (see Section 389), and be thoroughly imbedded in Portland concrete, the ingredients of which must be such that after proper ramming the interior of the mass will be free from cavities. The beams or rails must be entirely en- veloped in concrete, and around the exposed external surfaces of such concrete foundations there must be a coating of a standard Portland mortar not less than one (1) inch thick. The iron and steel and- the upper bed of the concrete footing course shall be given two (2) heavy coats of asphalt before the rails or beams are laid, or the beams may be painted with two (2) coats of pure Portland cement liquid grout, or two (2) coats of red lead and oil. Sec. 393. INVERTED ARCHES— If, in case of a continuous foundation wall, isolated piers are to be built to support the superstructure, where the nature of the ground and the character of the building make it neces- sary, inverted arched walls shall be turned between the piers, at least twelve (12) inches thick and of the full width of the piers, and rest upon a continuous bed of concrete or timber of sufficient area of at least eighteen (18) inches thick; or two (2) footing courses of dimension stone may be used, the bot- tom course to be laid crosswise edge to edge, and the top course laid lengthwise, end to end, or on a footing of steel beams bedded in concrete; or one (1) course of concrete and one (1) course of stone. The stone shall not be less than ten (10) inches thick in each course, and the concrete shall not be less than eighteen (18) inches thick, and the area of the lower course shall be equal to the area of the base course that would be required under a continuous wall, and the outside pier shall be secured to the second pier with suitable iron rods and plates. . . . ’ Sec. 394. DRAINAGE AND FROST— Before the walls of buildings built on clay or compact BUILDING CODE 237 soils which hold water, are carried up above the foundation walls, the cellars shall be connected through drain tiles and catch-basins with the street sewers. Should there be no sewer in the streets, or if cellars are below the sewer or ground water level, then provisions shall be made to prevent water accumulating in the cellars to the injury of the foundation^ or the occupancy of the basement or cellar. All foundation walls are to be properly protected against the effect of frost. Sec. 395. MORTAR IN FOUNDATIONS— All mortar or concrete used in foundations below tht water line shall be made of Portland cement, and all mortar below the grade line shall be cement mortar unless otherwise provided in Title IX. Sec. 396. IRREGULAR RUBBLE FOUNDATIONS— No irregular rubble or perch stone shall be used for, the foundation wall of any building of a class better than the VI if two (2) or more stories in height, and no coursed rubble shall be used in any building of a class better than the IV if five (5) or more stories in height, or in any building of the I, JI, or III classes. Stone piers or columns shall not be used for the support of floors, or interior posts or columns of any building, or for the support of any outside wall where such piers are located in the basement and stand clear of any area or curb wall, except in buildings of the VI and VII classes not over three (3) stories high. Sec. 397. CELLAR FLOORS— Every cellar or basement of a dwelling, tenement, or any other building when used for storage or other occupation, shall have a bed of cement concrete not less than four (4) inches thick, or Portland concrete not less than three (3) inches thick, or asphaltum concrete not less than two (2) inches thick 238 BUILDING CODE spread over its entire bottom, or shall be paved with hard bricks laid in cement mortar.

EXPLANATION OF TABLE C— Table C gives the permissible live floor loads, ranging from sixty (60) to two hundred (200) pounds per square foot on the walls of Table B for buildings arranged in three story intervals. Column I gives the maximum load per square foot to be placed on any floor for any wall in Columns II and III of Table B. Column II shows that walls of Columns II and III, Table B, may be reduced one-half (^4) brick in thickness when used as division walls not loaded over fifty (50) pounds per square foot, or when the wall built along a party line is “dead” or blank with the full load of sixty (60) pounds per square foot on all floors, or when the external walls or the walls facing inner courts, light shafts and wells are non-bearing provided that neither of such walls shall be less than one and one-half (1^) brick in thickness, except fire walls for the topmost story if not over twelve (12) feet in height in buildings not exceeding four (4) stories or sixty-five (65) feet in height. Column III gives the maximum floor loads over sixty (60) pounds per square foot to which all the floors of a building of a given number of stories high may be loaded without chang- ing the thicknesses and heights of the walls as given in Col- umns V and VI, Table B, i. e., for thicknesses and heights of walls for buildings from thirteen (13) to sixteen (16) stories high, as given in Columns V and VI, Table B, no floor above the first shall be loaded from sixty (60) pounds upward so as to bring the average of each succeeding three floors over one hundred (100) pounds per square foot. 244 BUILDING CODE Column IV is for division walls, and Column V for “dead'‘ walls along party lines when the floors are not loaded heavier than the amounts given for each three (3) story interval of height opposite them ; then the walls in Columns V and VI may be reduced one-half (^) a brick in thickness, and all ex- ternal non-bearing and internal fire division walls may be simi- larly reduced, provided that neither of such walls shall be less than one and one-half (1^) brick thick in any story. Sec. 408. TABLE C— Sec. 409. WALLS OF PITCHED, GABLE OR MANSARD ROOFED BUILDINGS— Tables A, B and C are for flat roofed buildings only; if a pitched, gable or mansard roofed building is desired, the base or springing line of such roof shall not be above the attic floor line given in the tables, and above this, after allowance for the pitch line is made, the area of the walls must not exceed the maximum area of wall allowed from coping line down to attic floor. In no case shall the height of any such building, measured as per Title III, exceed the maximum height of walls of its class. Sec. 410. WALLS OF ATTIC STORY— If an attic space is used for business, storage or permanent habitation, it shall be counted as the uppermost story of that building, and when the height and number of stories of a build- ing is limited there shall be one (1) less story below the attic floor line than for flat roofed buildings of the same grade. The thicknesses and heights of walls below such attic floors shall be estimated as beginning at the first story below the attic floor of the Tables, provided that in no case shall there be more than one (1) story of occupied attic space between the attic floor and the apex or deck of any roof, and further, that no ridge of a pitched or gable roof or deck of a mansard roof shall be more than' twenty (20) feet high above the base or springing line of such roof, unless constructed entirely of fireproof material, Building code 24S Sec. 411. THICKNESS OF WALLS INCREASED— All walls given in Tables A, B and C shall be increased in thickness or be re-inforced with equivalent pilasters or but- tresses when the following conditions obtain : (a) When walls are more than twenty-five (25) feet apart, one-half (^) brick shall be added for every succeeding interval of twelve and one-half (12^) feet or part thereof of increase of distance between them without intermediate division walls or rows of column and girder supports. (b) When any horizontal section of walls shows more than twenty-five (25) per cent reduction of area on account of flues, openings and recesses, one-half (^) brick shall be added for every succeeding interval of ten (10) per cent or part thereof of reduction, provided that in walls of uniform thicknesses such reduction does not exceed fifty-five (55) per cent of the whole, or, in masonry pier construction, not more than seventy (70) per cent for each bay. (c) When the floors of a building of an established height are to be loaded heavier than the maximum given in the tables, one-half (^) brick shall be added for every succeeding interval of three (3) stories or less in height to all walls below the top- most three (3), for every succeeding interval of twenty-five (25) pounds or less of increase to floor loading, i. e., if it is desired to obtain the thickness of wall for a nine (9) story building, as per Tables B and C, capable of sustaining two hundred (200) pounds per square foot per floor, the walls of the upper three (3) stories would remain of the same thickness as given in Table B; the next three (3) stories below would increase one-half (^) brick, and the lower three (3) stories would increase one (1) brick in addition to the thickness given in the table. (d) When the height of any story is increased, one-half (3^) brick shall be added to that story and all walls below for every succeeding interval of fourteen ( 14) feet or part thereof of increase to the height of any story up to seven (7) feet, or, when 246 BUILDING CODE the whole of the fourteen (14) feet distributed equally in not less than two (2) stories, provided, that no story shall have its height increased beyond sixteen (16) times the thickness of its enclosing walls at the base without a still further increase of thick- ness, nor shall the total height of walls exceed the maximum lim- its established for any class or grade of buildings. (e) When brick of smaller ‘‘stretcher’’ or “header” lengths or both, than the standard is used the thickness shall be increased by one-half (^) brick of the size used. Sec. 412. PARTITION WALLS— All non-bearing partition walls may be one (1) brick in thickness for buildings classed under Table A if continuous in height from foundations upward or if supported on beams in any building at every story not exceeding twenty (20) feet in height between the ceiling lines.

(c) LINTEL CONCRETE. — Is reinforced concrete or when the reinforcement of armored concrete is of a larger mesh than the thickness prescribed in Section 349, or if the netting or lattice work is broken with a seam or splice not developing full strength of the mesh laterally and so as to break the homoge- neity of a slab. See also “Concrete Floors,” Title XV. (d) For trussed concrete floor constructions see Sections 466 and 467. Sec. 458. TRUSSED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION— Trussed concrete construction is any construction made of reinforced or armored concrete in which the concrete mixture shall be of such proportions that its resistance to crushifig shall not be less than two thousand (2000) pounds per square inch, after hardening twenty-eight (28) days and that shall be of such proportions that the cement shall exceed by at least teri (10) BUILDING CODE 267 per cent in volume the voids in the aggregate and the aggregate shall be of such proportions that the finer parcels shall exceed by ten (10) per cent in volume the voids in the coarser particles, and the steel reinforcement is of such shape and so combined with the concrete that the steel may be made to assist in the re- sistance to compression and will take up the tensile stresses and assist in the resistance to shear along proper structural lines so that the internal stresses and resistances of the combination can be ascertained by computation and verified by tests, as pre- scribed in Sections 357, 358, 359 and 360. Sec. 459. TRUSSED CONCRETE STRESSES— Trussed concrete shall be so designed that the stresses in the concrete and steel shall not exceed the following limits : Lbs. per sq. inch Extreme fibre stress in concrete in compression (See ex- ceptions below) 500 The shearing stress in concrete, and the adhesion of the concrete to steel 50 Concrete in direct compression (See exceptions below).. 400 Tensile stress in steel (See exceptions below) 16000 Compression in steel 12000 Shearing stress in steel 1000 The ratio of Moduli of elasticity of concrete and steel, 1 to 15. The tensile strength of concrete shall not be considered. Sec. 460. EXCEPTIONS— Exceptions for compression in concrete and tensile stress in steel : The allowable stress for concrete in compression and direct compression may be increased to six hundred (600) pounds per square inch by applying a factor of safety five (5) to the result of the test prescribed in Section 458, or said factor may be applied to the results of ninety (90) day tests should such tests be prepared. 268 BUILDING CODE The allowable tensile stress in steel may be increased to twenty thousand (20000) pounds per square inch; provided that tests of such steel shall show an ultimate strength equal to four (4) times the allowable stress, and shall meet the cold bending test as prescribed in Section 466. Sec. 461. TRUSSED CONCRETE ASSUMPTIONS— The following assumptions shall guide in determining the resistance of any trussed or reinforced concrete member. (a) BENDING MOMENTS. — For bending moments due to external forces, lintels, joists, beams and girders shall be considered as simply supported at the ends, unless made mono- lithic with trussed concrete columns or continuous over supports, when they shall be so constructed as to provide not less than fifty (50) per cent as much reinforcement in the top over same, as is provided in the bottom. When so provided with reinforcement at the supports, the bending moment may be taken at not less than WxL-ylO for uniformly distributed loads, provided this reinforcement is made to extend twenty-five (25) times its cross area dimension beyond the support for corrugated, twisted or trussed bars and have the end hooked down three (3) diameters, in addition for plain bars. Lintel or slab concrete floor plates, of uniform thickness, formed of trussed concrete, when considered continuous, and when provided with reinforcement at the top of plate over supports, as provided above, may be treated as continuous beams ; the bending moment for uniformly distributed loads be- ing taken at not less than WxL^lO for lintel concrete plates, and WxL-yl5 for slab armored concrete plates, in which the longer side does not exceed by more than one and one-half (1^) times the shorter side. The trussed concrete floor plates, to the extent of not more than six (6) times the width of any joist, beam or girder in computing the moment of resistance. (b) MOMENT OF RESISTANCE.— In the formulae to BUILDING CODE 269 determine the moment of resistance the following may be as- sumed; that the stress in any fibre is directly proportional to its distance from the neutral axis, provided the bond between the concrete and steel is sufficient to make the two materials act to- gether as a homogeneous solid; that the strain in any fibre is directly proportional to the distance of that fibre from the neu- tral axis, provided the modulus of elasticity of the concrete re- mains constant within the limits of the working stresses fixed in this Code. (c) SHEARING. — When the shearing stresses developed in any part of a trussed concrete construction, either vertical or horizontal, exceed the safe working strength of concrete as fixed in this Code, a sufficient amount of steel, of such shape as to assure a mechanical bond, shall be introduced in such a position that the deficiency in the resistance to shear is over- come. When trussed concrete slabs, beams or girders are con- tinuous over supports the shear adjacent to the supports for uniformly distributed loads shall be not less than 6 W L-f-10. (d) ADHESION. — When the safe limit of adhesion be- tween the concrete and steel is exceeded, some provision, as prescribed in (c) shall be made for transmitting the strength of the steel to the concrete. Sec. 462. TRUSSED CONCRETE COLUMNS— The spacing of the extreme compression rods in the oppo- site sides or ends of the diameter from center to center or be- tween the neutral axis of other shapes in a trussed concrete column, shall not be less, than 1 to 16 of the least side or diameter of the column in the rough to its clear height. The rods or shapes shall be tied or latticed together at in- tervals not exceeding twelve (12) inches. When compression rods are not required, reinforcing bars shall be used equivalent to three-quarters (^) of one (1) per cent of the cross sectional area of the column. 270 BUILDING CODE The area of the compression rods shall be limited to ten (10) per cent of the cross sectional area of the column. When continuous beams or girders are made monolithic with or rigidly attached to trussed or reinforced concrete columns, the latter shall be designed to resist a bending moment equal to the greatest possible unbalanced moment in the beams or girders at the columns, in addition to the direct loads for which the columns are designed. Sec. 463. COLUMNS FILLED WITH CONCRETE— Columns composed of structural steel shapes or bars lat- ticed together by riveting and filled in solidly and surrounded by concrete as prescribed in this Title, may be proportioned by as- suming that the concrete enclosed within the outer flanges or faces of the shapes or bars takes up a proportioned part of the superimposed load within its limit of stress, provided that the total assumed load on the concrete and steel column combined does not exceed a factor of three (3), if assumed to be carried on the unfilled column when free standing. Sec. 464. CONCRETE COLUMN PROTECTION— . The outer shell of a trussed concrete or a concrete filled steel column shall be considered only as a fireproof covering. When a steel column or an iron column is to be double cov- ered, the outer shell shall be made with armored concrete of small mesh. Sec. 465. THICKNESS OF “TRUSSED” CONCRETE— The thickness of the concrete on the bottom or exposed side of any reinforcing steel member. of a “trussed” concrete lintel joist, beam, girder or column shall not be less than two (2) inches, and not less than one (1) inch at the bottom of any “trussed” concrete “lintel,” or “slab” floor plate. See also Section 555. Sec. 466. STEEL IN CONCRETE— The steel reinforcement in concrete shall meet all the re- BUILDING CODE 271 quirements of Title XI, except that it shall not be painted, but shall be free from all mill rust and scale. Such steel shall have an ultimate strength of at least 6000 pounds per square inch and an elastic limit not less than one- half the ultimate strength. 1400000 Percentage of elongation ultimate strength except that the minimum elongation shall not be less than twenty (20) per cent. Such steel shall also stand a cold bend- ing test of 180 degrees to a diameter equal to the thickness of the piece of tested, without fracture on outside of bent portion. Provided, that steel having an ultimate strength of not less than 54000 pounds per sq. in. may be used, if the unit stresses as prescribed in Section 459, be reduced ten (10) per cent. For exceptions see Section 460. Sec. 467. TRUSSED CONCRETE FLOOR SYSTEM— A trussed concrete floor system is a system which employs trussed or reinforced concrete for all its members except the columns. Sec. 468. TRUSSED CONCRETE FRAME— A trussed concrete frame is a framework in which all the iron and steel members of a “skeleton’’ frame (see Title XII) are replaced by trussed or reinforced concrete, inclusive of the columns. Sec. 469. TRUSSED FRAMES AND FLOORS— The proportioning of trussed or reinforced concrete frames and floor systems and their construction in buildings, shall be governed by all sections of this Code which regulate and per- tain to iron and steel “skeleton” frames, their framing and en- closing, except that all eccentric loading of columns shall be avoided; and in buildings over two (2) stories in height the spans or beams and girders shall be limited as follows : Beams and girders in outer or exterior walls, twenty (20) feet; provided 272 BUILDING CODE that lintels or girders, in exterior walls, supporting not more than one (1) story, or 18 feet of construction, may be built to a maximum span of thirty (30) feet, provided such lintels or girders be tested, after construction, to three (3) times the load they are to sustain before being built upon. In interior floor systems girders shall not exceed twenty-four (24) feet in length and shall not exceed twenty (20) feet on centers; and no floor panel between columns shall exceed four hundred (400) square feet in area, except that girders may be constructed to a span of twenty-eight (28) feet if spaced no greater than twelve (12) feet on centers. Beams shall not exceed twenty (20) feet, nor joists fourteen (14) feet in length; and where slab or lintel floor plates are used in connection with joists or beams, the thickness of the plate may be reduced to three (3) inches, if the span does not exceed thirty (30) inches; otherwise, the spac- ing of trussed concrete members and floor plates shall be regu- lated by Sections 526 and 527, when used under similar con- ditions. Sec. 470. SUPERVISION AND WORKING OF— RE- MOVAL OF— All concrete work shall be constructed along proper struc- tural lines and when a section or panel of armored or rein- forced concrete or any trussed concrete member is started, it shall be finished in its entirety before shutting down for noon- ings or for the day, or for any other purpose which will make necessary a delay of more than thirty (30) minutes’ duration. All unfinished and unsafe panels or sections shall be re- moved before starting a new one, and any batches or remnants of materials, containing cement, not used on the first set, shall be condemned and removed whether in the wall or floor, or in the vicinity of the work. Sec. 471. CENTERING- CENTERING. All centering shall be self-supporting and no centering shall BUILDING CODE 273 be removed in less time than given below after the concrete is laid : Slab and lintel construction, April 1st to December 1st. .10 days Slab and lintel construction, December 1st to April 1st. .15 days Posts and bottom supports for joists, beams and girders, April 1st to December 1st 14 days Posts and bottom supports for joists, beams and girders, December 1st to April 1st 21 days Columns and monolithic walls, April 1st to December 1st. 10 days Columns and monolithic walls, December 1st to April 1st. 15 days Sec. 472.

STEEL AND WROUGHT IRON-COLUMNS— (a) THICKNESS OF MATERIAL.— No material shall be used in any wrought iron or steel column of less thickness than one thirty-second (1-32) of its unsupported width measured between centres of rivets transversely, or one-sixteenth (1-16) the distance between centers of rivets in the direction of the stress, except as modified in Titles V and XII. (b) JOINTS AND SPLICE-PLATES.— The ends of all columns shall be faced to a plane surface at right angles to the axis of the columns, and the connection between them shall be made with splice-plates near the floor line. The joint may be effected by rivets of sufficient size and number, and the splice- plates shall be of sufficient sectional area to take up the hori- zontal shear for wind or any eccentric stresses of column spliced. When the section of the columns to be spliced is such that splice- plates cannot be used, a connection formed of plates and an- gles may be used designed to properly distribute the stress. (c) LENGTHS, FILLERS AND SHOES.— Steel and wrought iron columns shall be made in one, two or three story lengths, and the materials shall be rolled in one length wherever practicable to avoid intermediate splices. Where any part of the section of a column projects beyond that of the column be- low, the difference shall be made up by filling plates secured to column by the proper number of rivets.

(f) Trussed Concrete. — See Title X. Sec. 527. SPANS AND SPACING— The dimensions given in any section under this Title shall Building code 295 be regarded as the maximum limit of the span between the beams or girders when carrying “live” loads not exceeding sixty (60) pounds per square foot. When the floor loading is over sixty (60) but not over one hundred (100) pounds per square foot and the load is quies- cent or the building contains machines requiring a “live” load not over fifty (50) pounds per square foot, the spans shall be reduced twenty (20) per cent, and thirty-three (33) per cent for all buildings designed to carry “live” loads over one hun- dred (100) pounds per square foot or vibratory machinery re- quiring a “live” load of over (50) pounds per square foot, or if it is to be used as a warehouse, store or salesroom, workshop or factory for inflammable, easily ignited or hazardous risks, irrespective of the floor load. Provided that the effective thickness of any fireproof floor constructed may be increased instead of the spans being decreased, if the ratio of span to thickness shall be decreased twenty (20) and thirty-three (33) per cent respectively for the conditions as herein prescribed. Sec. 528. SKEW BACKS AND FILLING— All skew backs shall be of such form and section as to properly receive the thrust of the arches. Arches and filling of any kind between floor beams, which are likely to be injured by frost during freezing weather, shall be temporarily covered with suitable material for protection from freezing. On top of any arch, lintel or other device which does not extend to and form a horizontal line with the top of the floor beams, cinder concrete or other suitable hollow or solid fireproof material shall be placed to fill up the space to a level with the top of the floor beams and shall be carried to the under side of the wood floor boards in case such be used. If the finished floor is of concrete, tile or any other incom- bustible material, the bed of concrete filling to receive such finished floors shall extend at least one and three quarter (1^) 296 SUILDlNG CODie inches above the tops of the flanges of beams and girders, but no such concrete filling or floor shall be regarded as part of the effective thickness of any fireproof floor construction. Sec. 529. CENTERING— Temporary centering when used in placing fireproof sys- tems between floor beams shall not be removed within four (4) days or until such time as the mortar or material has set and the floor system is safe for ordinary working loads. For centering of concrete floors, see Title X. Sec. 530. EXPOSED FLANGES, WEBS AND PLATES— The bottom flanges of all wrought iron or rolled steel floor and flat roof beams, and all exposed portions of such beams below the abutments of the floor arches, irrespective of their form, shall be entirely encased in hard-burnt clay, porous or semi-porous terra cotta or other fireproof material allowed to be used for the filling between the beams in accordance with the provisions of this Title; such encasing material to be no less than two (2) inches thick and to be properly moulded and secured to the beams and if the encasing material of such mem- bers is of concrete it shall be armored concrete. The exposed sides and bottom plates or flanges of wrought iron or rolled steel girders supporting iron or steel floor beams, or supporting floor arches or floors, shall be entirely encased in the same manner. Sec. 531. SUPPORT OF FIREPROOFING— In all cases the covering of beams, if of hollow tile or porous or semi-porous terra cotta, shall be so applied as to be supported entirely by the beams or girders protected, and shall be held in place entirely by the support of the flanges of such beams or girders and by the mortar used in setting. Wire binding and anchors shall not be used as fastenings of such fireproof covering. Sec. 532. ENCASING INTERIOR COLUMNS— All cast iron, wrought iron, or rolled steel columns, in- BUILDING CODE 297 eluding the lugs and brackets on same, used in the interior of any fireproof building, or used to support any fireproof floor, shall be protected with not less than two (2) inches of fire- proof material, securely applied. The extreme outer edge of lugs and brackets and similar supporting material may project to within seven-eighths (7-8) of an inch of the surface of the fireproofing. For encasing of columns and beams, see also Title XVI. Sec. 533. METAL LATH AND PLASTER— Plastering on wire or metal lath shall not be considered as a fireproofing for steel or iron structural members, nor used as a substitute for armored concrete in a fireproof building, but may be used with an air space under arch constructions as a suspended ceiling, provided such arches have at least one (1) inch of thickness of fireproofing under the flanges in addition to such ceiling and that the metal lath and plaster is suspended separately from the arch construction, and is not less than one (1) inch below the same. Plastering on wire or metal lath may be used as a protection' for the soffits and sides of iron or steel floor beams and girders in any building of the IV, V and VI Classes, provided the metal lath and plastering is suspended or secured by double hooked clips made from one and one-quarter ( 134 ) by one-eights (^) of an inch steel spaced not over eighteen (18) inches apart, the metal lath surface being not less than one (1) inch below the soffits of the beams. The plastering shall con- sist of not less than two (2) coats, of mortar as prescribed in Sec. 518, Title XIV, and aggregating not less than seven-eighths (%) of an inch in thickness. Plastering on wire or metal lath may be used as a protection to steel or cast iron columns in IV Class building when a double thickness of wire lath and plaster as herein prescribed and a dou- ble air space of not less than three-quarters (^) of an inch be- tween the layers of plaster is provided ; provided that in buildings of the V and VI Classes only one (1) layer of such plastering 298 BUILDING CODE may be used. See also ‘‘Semi-Fireproof Buildings” in Titles II and XVIL Sec. 534. FLOOR OPENINGS— All floor openings of a greater area than three (3) inches square shall be provided with metal frames or collars built in as the fireproof floor is laid. Sec. 535. FIREPROOF FLOOR TESTS— All fireproof floor construction hereafter to be erected shall as a precedent condition of its being used be tested as herein pro- vided by the manufacturer, owner or patentee under the direction of the Inspector of Buildings and Chief of Fire Department, as hereinafter prescribed, and a record of the same shall be kept on file in the Department of Buildings, showing the nature and the result of the test. Sec. 536. NATURE OF TEST— All tests shall be made to ascertain the effects of uniformly distributed still loads; 2nd — Falling loads, and 3rd — Fire and water, as follows : Tests for still and falling loads may be made on a full size panel in the building if subjected to the prescribed conditions of Sec. 537 and 538 ; or all tests shall be made by constructing within enclosing walls a platform or a full size panel of the system to be tested consisting of girders, beams and floor construction with all exposed parts fire proofed and plastered on the under side, constructed, finished, exposed and loaded as in actual practice. For still loads and fire tests the top of the panel may be covered over with a two (2) inch layer of sand, and for the falling test the floor may be finished as in a finished job. And in all cases the factors of safety given in Title V shall be used. Sec. 537. STILL LOAD TEST— A still load equivalent to the “live” load to be used shall be uniformly distributed over the whole filling between beams in such manner as to produce no greater shear at the ends of the arches, lintels or slabs than in actual practice and left standing BUILDING CODE 299 for twenty-four (24) hours; after noting deflection and cracking it shall be gradually loaded to destruction. Should there be crack- ing of the plastering or greater deflection than prescribed in Sec. 493, under the dead load, or should the breaking load develop a smaller factor of safety than prescribed, the floor load shall be changed or system strengthened before its use shall be permitted. When the Inspector shall require a still load test of any system of fireproof construction to be made after it is erected, such tests within three (3) days after the centers are struck shall show that the construction will sustain a load of three (3) times that for which it is designed without sign of failure. The provisions of this Section shall also apply to trussed concrete twenty-seven (27) days after the starting of the work to be tested. Sec. 538. FALLING LOAD TEST— This test shall be made after loading the floor with its full equivalent of “live” load as prescribed above for all floors used or intended .to be used for mercantile or manufacturing purposes by letting the heaviest bulk article of merchandise or any commodity in its original packages placed or to be placed on such floor fall from its highest location or storage point in a tier in the center of a panel. If three (3) repeated tests at the same point cause cracking or damage to the ^arches or plastering underneath, the method of loading shall be changed or the floor system shall be strengthened. Sec. 539. FIRE TEST— The panel for this test if of concrete, lintel, slab or trussed construction shall extend at least two (2) feet beyond the girders ; and if of any arch construction there shall be at least three (3) sections or spans of full length in a panel, and the test applied in the middle section. The panel or section shall be loaded with the full “live” load as prescribed in Sec. 537 of this Title for still load and subjected to a continuous heat of a wood fire from a grate not less than ten (10) feet below said flooring to be tested. A temperature of seventeen hundred 300 BUILDING CODE (1,700) degrees Fahrenheit is to be obtained as soon as prac* ticable, and an average temperature of not less than eighteen hundred (1,800) degrees Fahrenheit is to be maintained for a period of not less than three (3) hours. Sec. 540. FLAME PROOF— The condition of the panel or platform during this test must be such that no flame has passed through any of its parts and that no part of the load has fallen through. Sec. 541. WATER TEST— At the end of the heat test a stream of water shall be directed against the bottom of the platform and discharged through one and one-eighth (Ij^) inch nozzle under sixty (60) pounds pressure for five (5) minutes. After the top of the platform shall have been flooded with water under low pressure, then the high pressure stream of water as prescribed above shall be again applied on the bottom of the platform for five (5) minutes. Sec. 542. DEFLECTION— At the end of the water test the total load uniformly dis- tributed shall be increased to four (4) times the amount of the “live” load used and shall not be removed until after the plat- form or panel shall have cooled. And when removed the con- dition of the fireproof covering and protection shall have been such that the maximum deflection of the beams or girders shall not exceed four (4) times the allowed deflection prescribed for beams in Title XII. Sec. 543.— SYSTEM PROHIBITED— Any system of construction failing to meet the requirements of the test of heat, water and weight, as herein prescribed, shall not be used in any building hereafter erected. Sec. 544. CERTIFIED TESTS— Certified copies of duly authenticated records of the tests heretofore made of any system of fireproof filling and protection of the exposed parts of the beams and all metal structural parts BUILDING CODE 301 may be presented to the Department of Buildings, and if the same comply with the requirements of tests of this Title to the satisfaction of the Inspector of Buildings they may be accepted as conclusive, except that the concrete mixture entering into any fireproofing or system of trussed concrete construction shall be tested for fire and water at any time when required by the Inspector. The contractor for any system of concrete floor con- struction after its erection shall be prepared to make the still load test prescribed in Section 537 as often as may be required by the Inspector.

(b) Those which, exclusive of the foundation show thirty- three (33) per cent, of damage or deterioration of the supporting member or members, or fifty (50) per cent, of damage or de- terioration of the non-supporting enclosing walls or covering. (c) Those which have improperly distributed loads upon the floors or in which the floors are overloaded. Sec. 724. REPAIR— All defective or dangerous buildings shall be repaired and put in a safe condition at once, or if the deterioration is of greater per cent than given under Sec. 723 beyond the possibility of re- pair, then they shall be entirely removed. Sec. 725. DISTRIBUTION OF LOAD— The weight placed on any of the floors of any building dur- ing its erection or after its completion shall be safely distributed thereon. The Inspector shall require the contractor or owner or occupant of any building, or any portion thereof, to redistrib- ute the load on any floor, or to lighten such load where he deems it necessary. Sec. 726. POSTING CALCULATED FLOOR LOADS— To prevent overloading in all warehouses, storehouses, fac- tories, workshops and stores where heavy materials are to be kept or stored, or machinery introduced, the weight that each floor will safely sustain upon each square foot thereof or upon each varying part of such floor, shall be estirhated by the In- spector, or by a competent person employed by the owner or oc- BUILDING CODE 367 cupant, said estimate shall be placed in a conspicuous place on each story, or varying parts of each story, of the building to which it relates. Before any building hereafter erected is occu- pied and used in whole or in part, for any of the purposes afore- said, and before any building erected prior to the passage of this Code, but not at such time occupied for any of the aforesaid purposes, is occupied or used, in whole or in part, for any of the said purposes, the weight that each floor will safely sustain upon each square foot thereof shall be ascertained and posted in a conspicuous place on each story or varying part of each story of the building to which it relates. No person shall place or cause or permit to be placed, on any floor of any building, any greater load than the safe load thereof, as correctly estimated and ascertained as herein provided. Sec. 727. MOVING OF BUILDINGS— No building of any class shall be moved from one lot to another within any Fire district or from the '‘Urban” district into any Fire district, unless it be of a class and meets with all the requirements of a new building of a class permissible to be erected within such Fire district. Sec. 728. LOCATION OF MOVED BUILDINGS— The situation plan of the building to be moved to a new location, as prescribed in the previous section, shall be first ap- proved by the Inspector before the building is moved. Sec. 729. BUILDINGS MOVED THROUGH STREETS— No building of any class which has deteriorated or has been damaged more than thirty-three (33) per cent of its origi- nal strength shall be moved through the streets of the city of Cleveland. Sec. 730. DEMOLISHING BUILDINGS— When plans and detailed statements are filed in the De- partment of Buildings for the erection of a new building, if an existing building or part of an existing building is to be demol- ished, such fact shall be stated in the statement so filed. 368 BUILDING CODE In demolishing any building, story after story shall be com- pletely removed. No material shall be placed upon the floor of any such building in the course of demolition, but the brick, tim- bers and other structural parts of each story shall be lowered to the ground immediately upon displacement, and all rubbish shall be dropped through a closed chute if such building is over two (2) stories in height or is located within thirty (30) feet of the street line. The owner of any building or the architect, builder or contractor in charge of any building, structure, premises, well, platform staging or flooring to be demolished shall give not less than twenty-four hours’ notice to the Department of Buildings of such intended demolition. Sec. 731. REMOVAL, ETC., OF UNSAFE BUILDINGS— The owner of any building, staging, or other structure, or anything attached to or connected with a building or other struc- ture which shall be unsafe so as to endanger life, shall, immedi- ately upon written notice received from the Inspector, cause the same to be made safe and secure, or taken down, and where the public safety requires immediate action, the Inspector may enter upon the premises with such assistants as may be necessary, and cause the said structure to be secured or taken down without de- lay and the passersby to be protected at the expense of such owner. TITLE XXIX. AREA OF BUILDING SITE LIGHT, VENTILATION AND FIRE. Sec. 732. PER CENT OF OCCUPANCY— All buildings shall be so placed upon their building site as to secure proper natural light and ventilation for the occupants thereof, and for this purpose, as well as for better Are protection, no building of the First and Second Grades hereafter to be erected shall occupy more than ninety-five (95) per cent of a. corner lot or site, or more than ninety (90) per cent of any interior lot or site, and no building of the Third, Fourth and BUILDING CODE 369 Fifth Grades shall occupy more than ninety (90) per cent of a corner lot or site, or more than sixty-five (65) per cent of any other lot or site, except as otherwise provided in the subsequent sections of this Title, or sections of other titles of this Code. Sec. 733. MEASUREMENT OF OCCUPANCY— For the purposes of this Title the measurements of occu- pancy of lots shall be taken at the ground level, except that where buildings have no basement and the cellar ceiling is not more than two (2) feet above the curb level, the measurements as to the percentage of lot occupied, or of courts and yards and court- yards may be taken at the level of the second tier of floor beams, provided that in buildings having a basement or cellar and where inner courts or yards are employed for light or ventilation a por- tion of such courts or yards extending through the first story shall be left unbuilt upon ; such portion shall have a length of the full width of the court or yard, and a width equal to the minimum width as given for the width of courts and yards under their respective sections. Sec. 734. MEASUREMENT OF COURTS— Courts, yards and light wells shall be measured in the clear of all projections into them, except roof leaders, wall coping, sills and open fire escapes not exceeding four (4) feet in width, and when the total area of a court is prescribed the area of the ob- structions shall be deducted, but in no case shall the distance between a wall and any obstruction be less than the minimum given for their respective heights. Sec. 735.

EXPLANATION OF TABLE F— Column I. — Gives the heights of buildings in terms of stories. Cols. II and III. — Gives the minimum and maximum height of a building in feet for their respective story heights, or the heights of courts above their lowermost level. Cols. IV, VI, VIII and X. — Gives the minimum width in feet. Cols. V, VII, IX and XI. — Gives the minimum area in square feet for the respective courts and shafts. The maximum depth of any interior, inner or lighted court shall not exceed four (4) times its tabulated width, and where the depth of such courts is increased beyond the maximum limits, six (6), twelve (12) and twenty-four (24) inches respectively, shall be added to the tabulated width for every twenty-five (25) foot increment, or part thereof ,of increase in length in excess of such maximum depth. For definitions of courts and yards, see Title I. Sec. 737. LINE AND OUTER COURTS— For the widths of line courts or outer courts between wings of the same buildings, or between buildings on the same or ad- joining lot, having windows in one side only, use Column VI, and Column IV, Table F, if there are windows on both sides. If such courts exceed sixty-six (66) feet in depth, the entire courts shall be increased six (6) and twelve (12) inches respectively, for every thirty-three (33) feet or fractipn thereof in excess of sixty-six (66) feet; but if such courts form courtways between streets and alleys to yards or interior courts the length of the outer courtway shall be taken from the outer building lines to the nearest of such intervening court or yard, otherwise it shall be measured through. Sec. 738. OUTER RECESSED COURTS— Whenever any part of an outer court changes its initial di- rection or extends in such a direction as not to receive direct light from the street or yard, the length of such part shall 372 BUILDING CODE never exceed the width of said part measured at the point at which the change of direction commences. Where an outer court is less in depth than the minimum width prescribed by this Title, its width may be equal to but not less than its depth, provided, that such width is never less than four (4) feet in the clear. This exception shall also apply to each offset or recess in outer courts. And no window except windows of water-closet compartments, bath-rooms or halls shall open upon any offset or recess less than six (6) feet in width. Sec. 739. OUTER AND INNER COURTS— Nothing contained in the foregoing sections concerning inner, interior or outer courts shall be construed as preventing windows at the angles of said courts, provided, that the running length of the wall containing such windows does not exceed six (6) feet, provided further, that there shall be not less than eight (8) feet between windows on opposite sides of court, except in frame buildings. See Sec. 581. Where a court starts at the level of the second tier or beams in whole or in part and the bottom of said court is a skylight over a store or hall, proper access to the top of said skylight shall be provided and said skylight shall be so arranged as to be easily cleaned. Sec. 740. SKY-LIGHTED COURTS— Interior sky-lighted courts when used for passageways through a building or for the purpose of furnishing light and ventilation for the adjoining rooms of a building, shall be of the dimensions given in Columns VIII and IX, Table F, provided that the skylight thereof shall have a glazed area of at least three- quarters (^) of the court area and also contain louvred or ad- justable ventilating windows of not less than one-tenth (1-10) of the area of the whole court measured at the floor line of the top- most story below the roof, provided, that the rooms adjoining such a court face directly on a street, alley, yard, or interior or outer court, or connect with a well lighted and ventilated public BUILDING CODE 373 hall or a room having windows in such street, alley, yard or court. The measurements of such courts shall be between balcony or cornice line in the clear and may be of a clear height throughout or may be offset or terraced where balconies are employed at every story height, provided no such offset is less than three (3) feet wide. If such sky-lighted court springs from the second tier of beams, or the first floor above the ground floor of a building, such court shall, if stairs and elevators are not located at the extreme ends of such courts, have air intakes of double the size prescribed in Sec. 748 for inner courts introduced at the ex- tremes. All intakes and ventilating louvres shall be so arranged as to be left open during the times of occupancy of the building and easily controlled in the event of fire. Sec. 741. OPEN LIGHT WELLS— Open light wells or courts shall not be permitted to extend through from floor to floor above the second floor in any building whose occupancy falls under Divisions c, d, e and f of the Second grade; or in any non-fireproof building over two (2) stories high. Where light is required in the interior of a building occu- pied as an aforesaid division of the second grade, light wells therein shall be of no less dimensions than an inner court and shall have either the entire opening on each floor covered over with floor lights of equal strength of the floor, or be enclosed for the entire height with wired glass set in metallic frames, provided that if such light well or any lighted court enclosed with incom- bustible materials contains stairs, landings, balconies or passage- ways the whole shall be of I, II or III class construction through- out. Sec. 742. YARDS OF INTERIOR LOTS— Behind every building hereafter to be erected upon an in- terior lot there shall be a yard extending across the entire width of the lot, the depth of the yard, to be measured outside of the 374 BUILDING CODE building or porch lines, shall not be less than ten (10) feet for the first forty (40) feet of building height, and shall measure one (1) foot for every additional twelve and one-half (12^) feet of height of building or fraction thereof ; provided, that when a through lot extends to a public or private alley or courtway the yard space for through buildings of the Third and Fourth grades shall be proportioned as a line court between the building and the rear line of the lot. For buildings of other grades, see Sec- tions 753 and 757. Sec. 743. YARDS OF CORNER LOTS— The depth of a yard behind any building situated upon a cor- ner lot shall be not less than ten (10) feet in every part, except that where such lot is less than one hundred (100) feet in depth, the depth of the yard may be not less than ten (10) per cent of the depth of such lot, but shall never be less than five (5) feet in every part, nor less than the minimum width of an outer lot line court as provided by Section 737. Where a corner lot is more than fifty (50) feet in width, or if such corner lot extends to a courtway not less than ten (10) feet wide, or if such court- way is less than five (5) feet from the centre of the courtway, the yard for that portion in excess of fifty (50) feet shall con- form to the provisions of Sections 742 — Interior Lots. Sec. 744. COURT YARDS IN THROUGH LOTS— Whenever separate buildings are to be erected upon opposite ends of a through lot extending from street to street or from street to an alley as hereafter prescribed, and said lot is not over one hundred (100) feet deep and the buildings are not over forty (40) feet high, there shall be left a courtyard not less than ten (10) feet deep between the wall lines, and not less than twenty (20) feet if such lot is over one hundred (100) feet deep, and their depth shall be increased one (1) foot for every additional ten ( 10) feet or fraction thereof of increase of height of either or both buildings. When the width of a court yard measured be- tween lot lines exceeds fifty (50) feet the depth of such courtyard BUILDING CODE 375 shall be increased two (2) feet for every twenty-five (25) feet or part thereof of increase of width of such courtyard. Sec. 745. COURT YARDS ON INTERIOR LOTS— Whenever more than two (2) buildings are placed upon the same through (or interior) lot, the space between the rear of the buildings facing the street or alley shall be deemed an interior lot ; between each building there shall be left a court yard of no less dimensions than those given for the minimum between build- ings on lots over one hundred (100) feet deep, as prescribed in Section 744, provided, that there is an open courtway not less than ten (10) feet wide extending through from one (1) of the streets to the farthest courtyard from that street, provided, that such farthest courtyard also has an open fireproof passageway not less than three (3) feet wide and seven (7) feet high leading directly through to the other street, but if two (2) such buildings are situated on an interior lot the courtway shall extend from the rear yard to the street ; provided further, that no building to be erected on an interior lot shall be of a greater height than three (3) times the width of one (1) of the courtyards, but in no instance shall the height of any building exceed the maximum prescribed under Title III. Sec. 746. AIR, LIGHT AND VENT SHAFTS— Columns X and XI, Table F, gives the minimum dimensions of all light, air and vent shafts to interior non-living rooms — halls, bathrooms and water-closet compartments — and the light wells of interior stairways not facing any street or court. (a) When Buildings of large undivided floor spaces, used for workshops or factories in whole or in part, or in combination with stores, exceed the limits of depth prescribed in Sections 772 and 774, Title XXXI, the ‘‘dead” ends of interior and corner rooms or centers of through rooms with long walls shall be pro- vided with vent shafts as follows ; The widths of such shafts shall be not less than the widths given for courts in Columns IV and VI, Table F, and their 376 BUILDING CODE length shall be at least one-tenth (1-10) the depth of the room or length of the wall ; provided, that if located as an “inner” court there shall be at least one (1) such shaft for every eighty (80) feet or part thereof of width of the building, or one (1) for every forty (40) feet or part thereof width of building if located as an “interior” court. (b) Interior stairways, water-closet compartments, halls and elevators, if not in conflict with any other provision of this Code, may be grouped around such vent shafts in any building, provided, that their location in buildings as above described does not obstruct the windows adjoining the narrowest dimensions of any room. Sec. 747. AIR AND VENT SHAFTS, CONSTRUCTION— All air and vent shafts, except in buildings of the VII Class, shall be constructed of incombustible material and may be en- closed on four (4) sides, but shall not be roofed over in any way. When such shafts are enclosed on all four (4) sides they shall be provided with air intakes. See Section 748. Sec. 748. AIR INTAKES— All inner and interior courts and air or vent shafts over thirty (30) feet high shall be provided with one (1) or more air intakes or horizontal ducts at the bottom of not less than three (3) per cent of the required court or shaft area leading directly to the street, yard, or court or courtyard, or courtway open to the street or yard. The minimum size of the air intake for an inner court if used as a passageway, shall be twenty-one (21) square feet, i. e., three (3) feet in width and seven (7) feet in height; the minimum size for the intake of an air duct shall be no less than four (4) square feet. The above given areas are for ducts in the clear, but if they are protected at their inlets and outlets with open grilles or transoms, the total area of the openings in such grilles shall be no less than the required three (3) per cent of the court or shaft BUILDING CODE 377 area, and the ducts shall be increased throughout their lengths to correspond to the face of grille. Air intakes or ducts shall be left open at all times, but so constructed as to admit the regulation of the air supply at all times and to be easily cleaned. Sec. 749. AIR SHAFTS FOR PIPES— Nothing in any section under this Title shall be so construed as to prevent the employment of independent air shafts to contain exhaust pipe or main steam and hot water heating risers, or the main soil and waste pipe or water pipe leading to attic tanks, or the main artificial or natural gas risers, or the main electric con- duits for power, heat or light, or belting, or other transmission of power, and such shafts shall be employed in all buildings of divisions (a) and (b) of the Second Grade and all divisions of the Third Grade over four (4) stories high. Such air shaft shall start in the basement and project not less than six (6) feet above the roof and shall be covered over with a ventilated skylight, but need not be provided with an air intake, but shall be provided with fire doors and be of such inter- nal dimensions and construction as to secure and afford proper facilities for inspection and repair of all lines therein contained. Sec. 750. SANITARY CELLARS OR BASEMENTS— All cellars or basements shall be ventilated from at least two (2) opposite sides through windows in bulkheads or areas. Where areas or courts are employed for the lighting or ventilation of basements or cellars which are used for other than storage pur- poses, such areas or courts shall never be less than three (3) feet in width in the clear, extending at least nine (9) inches on each side of the extreme windows of the portion so occupied, and not less than six (6) inches below the level of the floor. Sec. 751. DRAINAGE AND PROTECTION— All areas^ courts or shafts shall be carried at least six (6) inches below their ajoining floor levels, and shall be paved or concreted or covered with incombustible roofing and provided 378 BUILDING CODE with court or yard drains connected with the main drainage of the building. And where they adjoin streets or any other public spaces, or any passageway, courts or lot lines, they shall be further protected by iron fences or guard rails not less than forty-two (42) inches high. Where there are no intervening areas the lower section of all bulkheads and window openings within four (4) feet of the grade shall be properly protected by substantial iron guards, provided, that no area adjoining such basement rooms shall be covered over with a horizontal grating. Sec. 752. LIVING ROOMS IN BASEMENTS— When basements are used for living rooms the adjoining areas shall open up into yards, or courts, the required dimensions of which shall be measured at the grade line of the building. In damp, clayey or undrained soils, such basements shall have clear areas all around the building, as prescribed in Sec. 750, pro- vided, that in no case shall any living room be placed in any basement in which the back water line of the public sewer or the highest ground water level extends within three (3) feet of the basement floor level. See also Sec. 838, Title XXXIV. Sec. 753. ALLEYS, STREETS AND COURTWAYS— For the purpose of this Title any alley sixteen (16) feet or over in width will be considered a street to a depth of sixty-six (66) feet back from a street or open public space wider than thirty (30) feet. Beyond this depth of sixty-six (66) feet, along the side of a lot and all public alleys or courtways along the rear of a lot, such alley shall be deemed to be a court and in determin- ing the necessary court space, if such court is one of the principal sources of light and ventilation, the base of measures shall be taken eight (8) feet from the opposite side of such alley or courtway and computed as a line court adjoining such base line, provided, that nothing under this section shall permit the en- croachment of any parts of a building upon public property in conflict with Parts III and IV of this Code. BUILDING CODE 379 Sec. 754. DRIVEWAYS AND PASSAGEWAYS— Coiirtways or passageways, if not in conflict with any other provision of this Code, when used as driveways shall never be less than seven (7) feet wide and not less than three (3) feet if used as a footway, but no court or yard shall contain a fire escape or the rear entrance of a building when two (2) are re- quired, unless the same has a courtway not less than four (4) feet wide, on the ground level, leading directly to the street. Nothing contained in this section, if the conditions warrant, shall prevent the accessibility of such courtways or interior courts or yards from the street by driveways or passageways through the buildings, provided, they are built of fireproof construction and do not exceed sixty-six (66) feet in length; such driveways and passageways shall be kept open at all times during the occu- pancy of the buildings, except in buildings of divisions (a) and (b) of the Second Grade, the passageways may be made through the entrance lobbies with doors opening into them from the courts. In such an event the air intakes shall be made through a Mez- zanine story just above such lobby. Sec. 755. BUILDINGS ON COURTWAYS— No building of the First, Second, Third or Fourth Grades shall be located with its principal front upon any alley unless the same is at least thirty (30) feet distant from the opposite side of the alley; nor shall there be more than three (3) such buildings located upon any interior, or four (4) on any through lot unless the court or courtway is at least thirty (30) feet wide and have sixteen (16) foot alleyways at each end extending directly through to nearest adjoining streets. Sec. 756. WIDTH OF LOTS— The minimum width of lot for the conditions prescribed under this Title is forty (40) feet ; on lots less than forty (40) feet there shall not be more than one (1) building behind a building facing the street on the same lot. 380 BUILDING CODE Sec. 757. THROUGH BUILDINGS— Buildings of divisions (c) and (d) of the Second grade may cover the entire area of a lot, except an interior lot, for such of the stories beginning with the lower as are used for store or salesroom purposes only, provided they comply with all the requirements of light and ventilation prescribed in Title XXXI for depth of rooms. Sec. 758.— ENCROACHMENT ON RESERVATIONS— No buildings now or hereafter erected shall be altered or enlarged to encroach upon the minimum required space re- served for light and ventilation or for fire protection purposes, either on the same or on adjoining premises. All walls built adjoining interior property lines shall be “dead,” or solid fire walls, except when built in conformity with Sec. 737, and any such wall having window or other openings in conflict with the aforesaid Sec. 737 or Sec. 739, shall, under the provisions of this Code, be deemed an encroachment upon the aforesaid minimum required reserved space, but nothing in this section shall be so construed as to prevent an owner from enclosing any interior or outer line court by “dead” walls along the lot lines, provided the measurement for such courts is taken from the inner face of such enclosing wall. See also Sec. 813. TITLE XXX. AREAS OF BUILDINGS FIRE PROTECTION. Sec. 759— UNDIVIDED FLOOR SPACES— The following table gives the maximum area in square feet of undivided floor space to be contained in the various classes of buildings over two (2) stories high when occupied exclusively on all floors by stores, salesrooms, warehouse, workshop and factories : BUILDING CODE 381 TABLE G.

Col. 5. — Buildings on any lot which are to contain articles which are easily ignited or deemed hazardous by the Fire Insurance Underwriters. Sec. 760— AREAS INCREASED— The areas of undivided floor space in buildings may be increased as follows: If of the I class, unlimited; if of the II or III Class, seventy-five (75) per cent; and if of the other classes, fifty (50) per cent, of the amounts given in Table G, provided that all stairways and elevators are enclosed in fire- proof shafts, as prescribed in Part V of this Code, and such buildings are equipped throughout in each and every story with sprinkling devices approved by the Fire Department of the City of Cleveland ; provided further that no such building 382 BUILDING CODE is over eight (8) stories or one hundred and twenty (120) feet high. Any building not exceeding two (2) stories in height may have floor areas prescribed under this Section without being equipped with such sprinkling device. Sec. 761. AREAS DECREASED— The areas of undivided floor space in buildings shall be decreased by at least fifty (50) per cent, of the amounts given in Table G when the building, above the first or ground floor, is used or occupied by any other division or grade of occupancy than for stores, salesrooms, warehouse, workshops and fac- tories, provided, that in no instance shall any wooden building occupied by tenements or living rooms above the first floor, contain a greater area than thirty-three (33) per cent, of the amounts given in Table G, provided further, that in buildings, occupied by hazardous risks, as shown in Col. 5, there shall be no sleeping or living rooms on any floor, and when a watch- man’s room is provided it shall be on the floor nearest the ground and directly accessible from the outside. The un- divided floor space in all such buildings except those of the VI and VII Classes occupied as prescribed in this Section may be of the areas given in Table G, if equipped with an approved sprinkling system (see Part IV of this Code) in the basement and the first or ground floor, and where the occupancy is extra hazardous under the rules of the Fire Department, the amounts given in Col. V, Table G, shall be reduced by fifty (50) per cent. Sec. 762— AREAS CHANGED— After the issuance of a permit therefor, it shall be unlawful to alter or change the plans for new buildings or remove the interior division walls of old buildings by which the floor areas will be increased to exceed the amounts given in any section of this title. BUILDING CODE 383 Sec. 763^DIVISION AND FIRE WALLS— Unless otherwise prescribed, buildings of larger floor areas than given in the previous sections under this Title, and all buildings sheltering several different grades or divisions of grades of occupancy under one (1) roof, shall be subdivided by brick walls as prescribed under Titles VIII and IX, which walls, in buildings of the IV, V, VI and VII Classes shall be carried down to the foundation. And the buildings so sub- divided shall be treated, as regards stairs and fire escapes, the same as two (2) or more separate buildings.

The cost of inspection shall include the entire time from the opening to the closing of such openings. In every case should the applicant understate the number of square feet to be opened or removed, or carelessly perform the work so that a larger surface of pavement is dis- placed or injured than was so applied for, and for which payment has been made, the Board of Public Service will col- lect the excess from said applicant, and in default of payment for same upon demand, will refuse further permits to such applicant until such excess is paid. The inspector on the work shall, before the work is commenced, compare the estimated quantities with the actual work proposed, and unless an emer- gency exists have the correction made before the street is opened, in the event there is a discrepancy ; provided, however, that in case the applicant has deposited a larger sum than the final estimate shows for such work done, with fifteen per cent added, then he will refund to such applicant the difference in excess of the actual cost and amount so deposited.
