Open questions from the research
- Evidence for 1207 text is a county-hosted copy, not a DOS page; confirm on dos.ny.gov.
- DOS pages I read do not state the IFC edition basis; 2024 IFC rests on baseline preface.
- NFPA 855 not named on any state page read.
- Amended rule adopted Dec 5, 2025 (notice Dec 24, 2025) not examined.
