Chicago condo building, six condo units, built 2002. Masthead and loops located near 2nd floor master bedroom window. Would you be concerned?
Not quite 3 feet, is it? Good call.
(May or may not apply per AHJ): 2003 IRC E3504.1 Clearance from building openings. Open conductors and multiconductor cables without an overall outer jacket shall have a clearance of not less than 3 feet from the sides of doors, porches, decks, stairs, ladders, fire escapes and balconies, and from the sides and bottom of windows that open.
Yeah…I would have a problem with it…Make sure it appears in your report ( as I am sure it does ) just in case someone in the house decides to use it as a cloths line…cover your SIX…( i learned that SIX means A$$ in canada…I think )
It was kind of funny. I’d already jotted down a note during my exterior go-over. At the debrief and walk-around, the client (a first-time buyer and intelligent, but clueless about homes) looked-up and said, “Is that o.k.?”
I smiled and said…“No. No it’s really not.”
:shock:
“your six” is airplane talk, no matter where you live. (6 o’clock position with 12 being straight ahead)
But it does apply per safety.
I don’t get excited too much what the AHJ would say in this particular instance–the damn thing is not safe and that is all there is to it.
The raceway is not a problem, the service drop conductors are the issue, even with the IRC reference.
A solution could be to fix the window in place so as it does not open…of course if the BD permits that.
Really…>Dang Canadians…they told me it was a Canada thing…lol
You must have slept through “Top Gun”.
lol…their was a movie named Top Gun…?
