107.7.1 Plans and/or specifications completely defining the
work for each discipline (Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing,
Roofing, and Structural) shall be submitted to the Chief Inspector
or Plans Examiner for each discipline when required
with each application for a permit for that discipline. All
construction work for each discipline shall be detailed on
two sets of plans. Plans shall be mechanically reproduced
prints on substantial paper showing completely all foundation,
wall sections, floor plans, roof plans and elevations at a
convenient scale, and the main details at a scale not less than
3/4 inch equals one foot or equivalent metric scale, together
with use or occupancy of all parts of the building, a plot plan
showing all occupied and unoccupied portions of the lot or
lots, and complete structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical
and fire protection plans, and such other reasonable information
as may be required to clearly show the nature,
character and location of the proposed work. The Chief Inspector
or Plans Examiner of each discipline may authorize
the issuance of a permit for that discipline without plans or
specifications for relatively small and unimportant
work. For Electrical plans shall at a minimum scale of onequarter
inch (1/4”) equals one foot for all buildings of less
than 5,000 square feet or equivalent metric scale, except that
an isometric or riser diagram need not be to scale. Designated
Electrical Equipment Rooms and Meter Rooms shall be
drawn at a minimum scale of one-half inch (1/2”) equals one
foot or equivalent metric scale. In the opinion of the Chief
Plumbing Inspector/ Plumbing Plans Examiner riser diagrams
or isometric plans are necessary to describe the proposed
work, they shall be submitted.
107.7.2 Computations, stress diagrams, shop drawings, results
of site tests, floor plans of existing buildings to which
additions are proposed and other data necessary to show
compliance with this Code, the correctness of the plans and
the sufficiency of structural and mechanical design shall be
included when required by the Building Official.
107.7.3 When applying for a permit, calculations prepared
by the designer of record for Group R3 or R2 (Townhouse

truss designs and truss connections which denote
their location on the placement plan. The truss system shop
drawing does require the seal of an engineer, and shall be
reviewed and accepted by the architect or engineer of record
for conformance to design concepts and load interaction
with the building. After the architect and/or engineer of record
have indicated their review and acceptance, the truss
system shop drawings, design drawings for individual trusses,
and truss to truss connection details shall be submitted to
the building department. This submittal shall take place prior
to the inspection of the foundation. The designs for individual
trusses shall be prepared by an Engineer.

all buildings shall indicate how required structural and fire
resistance integrity will be maintained where a penetration
of a required fire resistant wall, floor or partition will be
made for electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing and communication
conduits, pipes and systems. Such plans shall also
indicate in sufficient detail how the fire integrity will be
maintained where required fire resistant floors intersect the
