Assistant Director for Code Interpretation
NOTE: Three-story two-dwelling unit "Townhouses"
The RCNYS is not applicable to those townhouses that were regulated as one- and two-family dwellings in accordance with section 701.3(e) of 9 NYCRR (old Uniform Code provisions) and having walls meeting the requirements of sections 738.8(b) & (c) of 9 NYCRR, which were the construction requirements for party walls, whether they are side by side or one over the other. These buildings are still classified as (one- and) two-family dwellings, however they are R-3 occupancies in the BCNYS, because they are not detached as required by the RCNYS.
