Wall and floor/ceiling assemblies separating units from each other or from public or quasi-public spaces such as interior corridors, laundry rooms, recreation rooms and garages shall provide airborne sound insulation for walls and both airborne and impact sound insulation for floor/ceiling assemblies.
  1. Air-borne Sound Insulation. All wall assemblies enumerated or alluded to in paragraph 1 shall be a type of construction that has a minimum rating of 50 STC (Sound Transmission Class). Wood floor joists and subflooring shall not be continuous between separate condominium units. Penetrations or openings in the construction for piping, electrical outlets and devices, recess cabinets, bathtubs, soffits and heating, ventilating and/or air conditioning intake and exhaust ducts and the like shall be sealed, lined, insulated or otherwise treated to maintain the required rating; and such treatment shall be approved by the Chief Building Inspector. Entrance doors to the unit shall be of solid construction and, together with perimeter seals, shall have a minimum rating of 30 STC. Such perimeter seals shall be maintained in effective operating condition.

    1. Impact Sound Insulation. All separating floor/ceiling assemblies enumerated or alluded to above shall be of a type of construction that has a minimum rating of 69 IIC (Impact Insulation Class). Floor coverings may be included in the assembly to obtain the required ratings but must be retained as a permanent part of the assembly and may only be replaced by another floor covering that provides the same or greater impact insulation.

    2. Verification of Sound Class. STC and IIC ratings shall be based on the results of laboratory measurements and will not be subjected to field testing. The STC rating shall be based on the American Society for Testing and Materials system specified in ASTM B90-66t or equivalent. The IIC rating shall be based on the system in use at the National Bureau of Standards or equivalent. Ratings obtained from other testing procedures will require adjustment to the above rating systems.

  • h. Conversion to Ownership: Planned Condominium Developments. Planned condominium developments in which existing structures are converted to ownership units must obtain:

    1. A structural pest report from a qualified private contractor approved by the Chief Building Inspector.

    2. A project building report conducted by the Department of Building and Safety or a qualified private contractor approved by the Chief Building Inspector.

  1. A surety bond shall be posted with the City by the applicant and/or subsequent developer of a planned condominium development for the purpose of assurance of maintenance of utilities, fire equipment, roadways and other portions of the development which impact on the public health, safety and welfare. The amount of the surety bond shall be determined by the Commission, but shall not be less than $5,000. In lieu of a surety bond, the applicant may deposit a cash bond in the amount determined as above. The bond shall be maintained for the life of the planned condominium development. The cost of the bond shall be the responsibility of the applicant and/or subsequent developer until 75% of all units have been transferred to private ownership, at which point the property owner's association shall become responsible for maintenance of said bond. Should the Commission determine that a default has occurred in the performance of adequate maintenance of the planned condominium development, the Commission shall instruct the Chief Building Inspector to notify (in writing) the property owner's association and the surety on the bond of the maintenance violations. Such notice shall state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof and the period of time allocated for completion of such work. After receipt of such notice the property owner's association and/or surety must, within the time therein

specified, either cause the required work to be performed or, failing therein, pay to the Department of Building and Safety the estimated cost of doing the work, plus an additional sum equal to 10%.
