1996 Oakland Live/Work Building Code


In July 1999, a new Municipal Code was adopted in Oakland, California, and the applicable sections of that new code are presented on the main Code page. The code sections listed below are not current code requirements but are included here for the purpose of reference.

As on the page listing the current Code, the section number is the link, here in orange, the section name is in bold, and in italics are Plain English potential questions or topics covered by that particular section.

The Items Required to be Included on Plans or Specifications are unchanged in the new code; the information in that area of this website is applicable to both the current code and this archive.
