Overview
The village of Bayside, Wi. references the 1996 model code published by Independent Inspections, Ltd. at Bayside, Wi. Muni. Code Sec. 14-41. However, we could not locate any information regarding this particular code. Considering that Sec. 14-41 was enacted in 1997 it is likely that the village code has not revised their ordinances to reflect the statewide uniform building policy. Presumably, the village enforces the current UDC and the CBC.
The village enforces the the current state code, the 2012 NFPA 1 as part of its Fire Prevention Code. Bayside, Wi. Mun. Code § 42.31 (adopted) (accessed 4/7/2015).
