New Appeal:

Appeal No. 03-001
Building Permit Application No. 2001/01/24/0456
Building Address:  44 Campton Place
Project Architect:  William Frederick Heijn

The subject building is a one-story structure with unreinforced masonry bearing walls.  The roof is of concrete slab supported on steel beams.  SFBC Section 1613C.1.1 requires that all unreinforced masonry walls shall be anchored at the roof and floor levels.

Project architect appeals that such anchors are not required for this building as its walls are restrained at the top by the bonding between the walls and the concrete slabs and also the steel beams.
