“The term ``point-access block building'' means a Group R-2 occupancy residential structure, as such term is defined by the International Building Code, in which a single internal stairway provides access and egress for all dwelling units in a building that is not greater than 6 stories in height.”
The section defines a point-access block building as a Group R-2 occupancy residential structure, as the International Building Code defines that term, in which one internal stairway serves all dwelling units in a building no taller than 6 stories.
What the document actually says
“The term ``point-access block building'' means a Group R-2 occupancy residential structure, as such term is defined by the International Building Code, in which a single internal stairway provides access and egress for all dwelling units in a building that is not greater than 6 stories in height.”
That sentence, in plain words
This kind of building is a home building of a set type. One stairway inside serves every home in it. The building is six floors tall or less.
What this is about
A definition sets the reach of a rule. Buildings that do not fit it are not covered. The height limit of six floors is part of the test.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
