2022 California Standards for Accessible Design Guide (effective January 1, 2023 with July 1, 2024 amendments)

Advisory Definition of REPAIR. There is an important distinction between REPAIR and ALTERATION and they are treated differently under the CBC. As noted in this definition, a repair is the reconstruction or renewal of any part to maintain or correct damage. The definition is clear that repair is limited to work on an item or part and does not apply to a renovation, rehabilitation or renovation to an existing building in the event of fire or flood repair. ◼
