Sec. 15-1-42 – Reference Standards.

Without expressely adopting the following model codes, this section recognizes the BOCA Basic Building Code, and the Wisconsin Uniform Building Code as “prima facie evidence of safe construction”. Monona, Wi. Mun. Code § 15-1-42 (reference standards) (accessed 4/9/2015). Since the Wisconsin Uniform Building Code updates with the State building codes there would be no conflict with this standard. However, the Boca Basic Building Code is out of date and would likely not be consistent with some of the ICC codes.
