A. This code shall apply to the construction, erection, alteration, moving, enlargement, demolition, repair, improvement, conversion, maintenance, and work associated with any building or structure except those located in a public way.

B. Where, in any specific case, there is a conflict between this code and the Oregon Revised Statutes, the Oregon Revised Statutes shall govern.

C. When conflicts occur between the technical codes, those provisions providing the greater safety to life shall govern. In other conflicts where sanitation, life safety or fire safety are not involved, the most restrictive provisions shall govern.

D. Where, in any specific case, different sections of this code specify different material methods of construction or other requirements, the most restrictive shall govern. Where there is a conflict between a general requirement and a specific requirement, the specific requirement shall be applicable.

E. When conflicts occur between specific provisions of this code and administrative provisions in a technical code which is then applicable within this jurisdiction, those provisions becoming the law most recently shall prevail. (Ord. 5093 §1 (Exh. A (part)), 2020).
