101073519 Introduction Development PREFACE The International Property Maintenance Code° (IPMC®) establishes minimum requirements for the maintenance of existing buildings through model code regulations that contain clear and specific prop- erty maintenance and property improvement provisions. This 2021 edition is fully compatible with all of the International Codes° (I -Codes®) published by the International Code Council° (ICC°), including the International Building Code° (IBC°), International Energy Conservation Code° (IECC°), Interna- tional Existing Building Code° (IEBC°), International Fire Code° (IFC°), International Fuel Gas Code° (IFGC°), International Green Construction Code° (IgCC°), International Mechanical Code° (IMC°), International Plumbing Code° (IPC°), International Private Sewage Disposal Code° (IPSDC°), Interna- tional Residential Code° (IRC°), International Swimming Pool and Spa Code° (ISPSC°), International Wildland-Urban Interface Code° (IWUIC°), International Zoning Code° (IZC®) and International Code Council Performance Code° (ICCPC°). The I -Codes, including the IPMC, are used in a variety of ways in both the public and private sectors. Most industry professionals are familiar with the I -Codes as the basis of laws and regulations in com- munities across the US and in other countries. However, the impact of the codes extends well beyond the regulatory arena, as they are used in a variety of nonregulatory settings, including: • Voluntary compliance programs such as those promoting sustainability, energy efficiency and disaster resistance. • The insurance industry, to estimate and manage risk, and as a tool in underwriting and rate decisions. • Certification and credentialing of individuals involved in the fields of building design, construc- tion and safety. • Certification of building and construction -related products. • US federal agencies, to guide construction in an array of government -owned properties. • Facilities management. • "Best practices" benchmarks for designers and builders, including those who are engaged in projects in jurisdictions that do not have a formal regulatory system or a governmental enforcement mechanism. • College, university and professional school textbooks and curricula. • Reference works related to building design and construction. In addition to the codes themselves, the code development process brings together building pro- fessionals on a regular basis. It provides an international forum for discussion and deliberation about building design, construction methods, safety, performance requirements, technological advances and innovative products. This 2021 edition presents the code as originally issued, with changes reflected in the 2003 through 2018 editions and with further changes developed through the ICC Code Development Process through 2019. A new edition of the code is promulgated every 3 years. This code is intended to establish provisions that adequately protect public health, safety and wel- fare and that neither unnecessarily increase construction costs nor give preferential treatment to par- ticular types or classes of materials, products or methods of construction. 2021 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE° INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL Copyright © 2020 ICC.
