A certain document, a copy of which is on file in the office
of the Borough Secretary of the Borough of Port Allegany, being marked
and designated as the "BOCA National Building Code," particularly
the 1993 Edition and subsequent editions as are from time to time
recommended and maintained by the Building Official and BOCA International,
Inc., be and is hereby adopted as the Mechanical Code of the Borough
of Port Allegany in the State of Pennsylvania for the control of buildings
and structures within the corporate limits of the Borough of Port
Allegany, as herein provided; and each and all of the regulations,
provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of said code are hereby
referred to, adopted and made a part hereof as if fully set out in
this chapter, with the additions, insertions, deletions and changes,
if any.
Modifications to the standard code adopted by §

A. Section M-121.2, Membership of Board (Board of Appeals), is hereby
amended to change the number of members from five to three.
B. Section M-121.2.1, Qualifications (Board of Appeals), is hereby deleted,
