@coachjoeyandrada Could you please clarify how _ADA accessibility requirements_ and _fire and life safety codes_ apply to different types of historic building treatments? do the requirements vary?

_Preservation_  
_Rehabilitation_  
_Restoration_  
_Reconstruction_

Any insights you could share on this would be greatly appreciated!

Each treatment has a small section on code related work and best practices for potential conflicts. Check out pages 69, 147, and 218!
