<br /> <br /> <br />3. Capability Assessment <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro conducted an analysis of its hazards and developed a hazard <br />mitigation master plan which is located in Section 6: Mitigation Strategies. To <br />address existing local capabilities to aid in mitigation of natural and man-made <br />hazards of non-emergency and emergency situations, the following capabilities and <br />services exist: <br /> <br />3.1 Codes, Laws and Ordinances <br /> <br />The building codes of San Leandro are contained in the San Leandro Municipal Code. <br />The codes that are currently in effect were formally adopted and went into effect on <br />November 5, 2002. The City's Building Division has additional details on the current <br />status of each code. <br />These codes are modeled after the: <br />2001 California Building Code (1997 <br />UBC and as amended by City <br />Ordinance) <br />2001 California Fire Code (2000 <br />UFC) <br />2001 California Mechanical Code <br />(2000 UMC) <br />2001 California Plumbing Code (2000 <br />UPC) <br />2001 California Electrical Code (1999 <br />NEC) <br />2001 California Housing Code (2000 UHC) <br /> <br />It should be noted that these model codes are amended by the State of California and <br />the City of San Leandro to include various additional requirements. For instance, the <br />plumbing code is amended to prohibit the use of plastic pipe within the drain, waste <br />and vent system of a building. <br />The best place to view these codes is the San Leandro Permit Center or the Library. <br />Because of the vast amount of information contained in these codes and their <br />technical nature, they can be difficult to navigate. Standard questions can be <br />answered by the City of San Leandro permit center staff. However, more complex <br />design issues should be referred to a design professional such as an architect or <br />engineer. <br /> <br />
