Building Codes in Louisiana

 
Building Code Issues:

1. Dealing with code changes, education, keep up with LSUCC adoption changes ex: Emergency
Wind Zone Adoption
2. Future budget constraints will affect code enforcement.
a. Jurisdictions may increase contracting with private companies to meet these needs.
b. Staffing and business hours may be cut.
c. Quantity, responsiveness and thoroughness of inspections may decrease.
d. Outreach and education may decrease or become privatized.
e. Fuel costs may result in less trips to the job-site or more combination inspections
3. Uniformity across Jurisdictions or even within a jurisdiction needs improved.
4. Inspection consistency needs improvement.
5. As the industry gets more diversified and complicated misunderstandings will arise, more
disputes.
6. Nuisance abatement and dilapidated structures.
