Standard for Existing Building Safety Inspections
(IS-EBSI)
ICC 1500 – Standard for Existing Building Safety Inspections
Maintaining the integrity of the structural, fire and life safety, envelope, plumbing, mechanical, electric, and fuel gas components and systems of a building throughout its life is of paramount importance to maintain the health, safety and welfare of the occupants and public. Because building systems work together, it is not enough to just consider one system while overlooking others. The fundamental purpose of an Existing Building Safety Condition Assessment program is to establish the minimum timeframes for condition assessments, therefore enabling the building owners to reasonably maintain their buildings, such that identifiable potential or current unsafe conditions have been noted and remedied. This document is intended to be a guide and under no circumstances are these minimum recommendations intended to relieve building owners of their responsibilities under applicable codes, laws, ordinances, or regulations nor supplant proper professional judgment of those performing the condition assessments.
