The court affirmed building code compliance orders, holding that unpermitted barn apartments qualify as buildings.
This case is an appeal under s. 25 of the Building Code Act, 1992, concerning five compliance orders issued by the chief building official.
The appellant challenged two of the orders, arguing that the official erred in finding a "dwelling" on the premises.
The court affirmed all orders, holding that the official was only required to determine if the structures were "buildings" under the Act, not necessarily "dwellings" and found no reversible error.
The decision also clarified the applicable standard of review for statutory appeals and the court's limited jurisdiction regarding tort claims.
