The “height of a building” is the vertical distance measured at the center line of its principal front from the established grade or from the natural grade, if higher than the established grade, to the level of the highest point in the coping of flat roofs or to the deck line of a mansard roof or the mean height of the highest gable of a pitched roof or to half the height of a hipped roof. Where no roof beams exist or there are structures wholly or partly above the roof the height shall be measured to the level of the highest point of the building.
