Roofing in Mayfield Heights, Ohio

Required

The Residential Code of Ohio (RCO), Ohio Administrative Code Division 4101:8, adopted by the Ohio Board of Building Standards, governs one-, two- and three-family dwellings statewide; its roof assemblies rule (OAC 4101:8-9-01) and administration rule (OAC 4101:8-1-01) carry an effective date of July 1, 2019. Ohio Rev. Code 3781.01(B) provides that the state residential building code "does not prevent a local governing authority from adopting additional regulations governing residential structures that do not conflict with the state residential building code". Under RCO 101.5, where no building department certified by the Board of Building Standards for residential buildings has jurisdiction, "the owner is not required to make submission of construction documents, seek approvals, request inspections, or obtain certificates of occupancy". In Mayfield Heights, the Building Department serves residents, businesses and developers by supporting new construction projects, renovation of existing buildings and building expansions, and it takes permit applications at its permit counter and through the city's Citizenserve portal. This record did not read Mayfield Heights's own codified ordinances, so any additional local building regulation is not reflected here.
