Au contrere. one can simply ignore municipal code. happens often and everywhere, not to mention evrerwhere it doesn't exist. unless it's enforced, and that's the key. also, i'm not against building to code. just realistic.
Yes, and that's how people get killed in completely preventable ways.
Again, I am not against building to code. "Code" doesn't exist in much of the world, and sometimes the materials aren't available to make it possible.
Municipal code is usually to prevent people from dying. It's simply dumb to ignore it in a case like this.
you know what, for all builders and contractors: please build things in a way that people don't die. forgot about that part.
