Code Section: 172(b)
Subject: Noncomplying building in rear yard
Effective Date: 3/88
Interpretation:
This Section prohibits any building legally existing in the rear yard from being expanded in such a manner as would increase the discrepancy. An increase in the building envelope of a building in the required rear yard would constitute an increase in discrepancy. Section 188(a) would allow the building to remain and be renovated and maintained. Therefore, such noncomplying building could be raised temporarily for the purpose of gaining access to construct a new foundation and thereafter returned to its former legally existing elevation.
