    Pedestrian protection must be in place prior to construction, remodeling or demolition activities. This includes pedestrian walkways adjacent to lot lines and pedestrian walkways which pass into or through an area under construction or demolition.

    Covered walkways require a permit and plan review.

    Pedestrian protection must be in place and inspected prior to construction adjacent to and at the same grade or above, as detailed in IBC 3306.1. Failure to have this in place and approved prior to construction will result in a Stop Work order.
