1446.01 MASONRY UNIT DEFINED.
   “Masonry unit” means hard-burned shale or clay brick, stone, hollow concrete block, solid concrete brick and structural clay tile load bearing. The use of any masonry unit other than the above shall first be approved by the MMB to comply with acceptable A.S.T.M. Standard C-90-66T.
(Ord. 42-1981. Passed 2-23-81.)
1446.02 COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC STANDARDS REQUIRED.
   Concrete for footers and foundations must be mixed to comply with all A.S.T.M. standards. All ready-mixed concrete must comply with the specifications set by A.S.T.M. Standard C-94-67.
(Ord. 42-1981. Passed 2-23-81.)
1446.03 BUILDINGS TO BE ENCLOSED; EXCEPTIONS.
   Every building shall be enclosed on all sides with its own walls or party walls, except where such walls are not required by this Building and Housing Code for fire-protection purposes. This section does not preclude the omission of the exterior walls for part of a story when the use or occupancy of the building makes such omission necessary or desirable, provided the unenclosed part is separated from the rest of that story and from the stories above and below by walls and floors having fire-resistance ratings consistent with those required for other parts of the building, nor does this section preclude the use of windows, show windows and other openings in the exterior walls, as far as the use or occupancy of the building makes them necessary and desirable, provided they are constructed and protected as required by this Building and Housing Code, nor does this section preclude an open parking garage constructed and protected as specified in Section 1488.03 and 1488.04 of the Building and Housing Code and the applicable provisions of the Ohio Building Code.
(Ord. 42-1981. Passed 2-23-81.)
1446.04 ACCESS PANELS.
   (a)   In buildings having exterior walls over 300 feet in length without openings, access panels at the street or grade level shall be provided, spaced not over 200 feet apart, to permit access to the building by fire-fighters in the event of fire.
   (b)   Access panels shall also be provided as directed by the Superintendent of Building and Zoning Inspection where openings in exterior walls on street fronts are either lacking or are covered by signs or other encumbrances which would prevent access by fire-fighters.
   (c)   Access openings or panels shall be provided with approved fire protectives where required.
(Ord. 42-1981. Passed 2-23-81.)
