[RE-wrenches] Clearance clarification please

[Brian Mehalic]

There are access/pathway requirements for both residential and commercial roofs (of course they are different, and the residential requirements only apply to 2:12 pitches or greater) in the IFC and IRC, and they’ve been in there since 2012. The 2018 edition of the IRC is more favorable in terms of allowing for more useable space than the 2015 edition.
