Questions

Which codes does San Francisco use?

San Francisco is covered by 15 books in Ichi, on the 2022 cycle: CAC, CBC, CEnC, CEBC, CGBC, CHBC, and 9 more. The full list is above.

Does Ichi include San Francisco's local amendments?

Yes — 8 local books: San Francisco - Building Administrative Bulletins 2022 Edition; San Francisco - Building Code 2022 Edition; San Francisco - Electrical Code 2022 Edition; San Francisco - Existing Building Code 2022 Edition; San Francisco - Green Building Code 2022 Edition; San Francisco - Housing Code 2022 Edition; San Francisco - Mechanical Code 2022 Edition; San Francisco - Plumbing Code 2022 Edition. Amendments are loaded as first-class books, not footnotes on the model code, so an answer reflects what San Francisco actually enforces.

How current is this code group?

Code groups are maintained in the Ichi platform and this page reflects that library directly. New books, editions and amendments are added on an ongoing basis, and jurisdictions can be added on request.

Can I read the full code text here?

This page lists coverage — which books, which edition, which amendments. The code text itself lives inside Ichi, where it's delivered under our licensing agreements with the ICC and other publishers, and where every answer links to the exact section it came from.
