Sec. 39. Construction of frame buildings.
No frame building hereafter erected or altered shall exceed two
stories in height, except that private dwellings may be three stories
high.
No frame building hereafter erected for any occupancy other
than grain elevators, coal elevators and pockets, ice houses, exhibition
buildings, and structures for temporary occupancy for a
specified period and then subject to special permission shall cover
a ground area exceeding the following:
One story building—seventy-five hundred square feet.
Two story building—five thousand square feet.
In no case shall the extreme projection of a frame building be
erected within five feet of the side or rear lot line, nor within ten
feet of another building on the same lot, unless the space between
the studs on such side be filled solidly with not less than two and
one-half inches of brick work or other equivalent incombustible
material, in which case said distances may be reduced to three feet.
Rows of frame tenement houses are prohibited. Duplex or
double frame houses shall be permitted.
Buildings with wooden framework clad with sheet metal, or
veneered with brick, shall be classed as frame buildings.
The maximum spacing for studding and joists shall be sixteen
inches on centers, that for rafters twenty-four inches. Studding
in external walls and all partitions of dwellings shall be not less
than standard two by fours standing, with studs set the four-inch
way for thickness of walls. The exterior of the framework of all
dwellings shall be sheathed with sheathing not less than three-fourths
inches thick. In case of built-up beams or girders, the
splicing of members shall be made over supports. In case of house
to be weatherboarded, sheathing may be omitted if framework is
sufficiently braced against wind pressure.
Where the frame is properly cross-braced, sheathing may be
eliminated and wood laths embedded in asphaltic binder directly
connected to heavy felt roofing material may be applied directly
to the studding when stuccoed according to provisions elsewhere
outlined in this chapter. Such lathing material shall meet the approval
of the building inspector. Where wire or metal laths are
used on sheathing board there must be a furring strip one-half
inch thick placed not more than sixteen inches on centers.
All floors of wood construction in dwellings shall be constructed
of not less than two by eight standard wood joists. All joists and
studding around openings such as doors and windows shall be
doubled. Openings more than four feet wide in bearing partitions
shall be trussed or framed over with beams of ample size to carry
the full load above. All headers over four feet in length that butt
into trimmers shall be carried on metal joist hangers or mortised
and tenoned headers and trimmers. There shall be at least one
stop closing off the entire space between studding. (Code 1932,
§ 494(31).)
