DC Department of Buildings permit MVQ2500139: issued Oct 9, 2024 for roofing work at 4530 Macarthur Blvd NW. B2410055 In accordance with Section 104.10 of the Construction Codes (Title 12 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR)), I hereby request approval of the proposed modification of the following section(s) of the Construction Codes as applied to the above-referenced project/permit. [Please identify by specific citation to Title 12 of the DCMR or to the International Codes as applicable.] DGS/DCPS is requesting modification to Code Section 302.2.3 to allow for the LEED Commercial interiors rating system to be used in lieu of LEED BC+C schools. For the existing building renovation scope at Macarthur High School, there is insufficient funding available to meet LEED BD+C for schools gold. Per ? 6 1451.02. Publicly-owned, leased, and financed buildings and projects state (ii) NOTWITHSTANDING SUB-SUBPARAGRAPH (1)of the subparagraph, a public school shall be verified as having fulfilled or exceed the current edition of the LEED standard for commercial and institutional buildings at the fold lever or higher if sufficient funding for the construction or renovation is provided. While EXEPTION 1 allows for schools o be Certified Leel, based on funding and limited project scope, Certified level is not anticipated to be achievable under LED BD+C for schools rating system. Based on ? 6 1451.02.b.1 of the Green Building Act, tenant improvements within district owned buildings are required LEED: Commercial interior. Per this section we are asking for a Code Modification to file the existing building renovation work under LEED: Commercial Interior to achieve Certified or higher rating. 1) Are there specific individual reasons that make the application of the strict letter of the Construction Codes impractical? If YES, Explain: Project is unable to achieve LEED+BD+C for schools due to scope of existing building renovation. See attached leed bd+c scorecard analysis. 2) Is the requested modification is in compliance with the intent and purpose of the Construction Codes? If YES, Explain: The budget and scope for this existing building renovation project does not support LEED BD+C for SchoLEED CI is more in line with the anticipated project scope which includes interior modifications, new mechanical system, and new lighting. The project only includes minor site and exterior work. Due to the minor site and exterior work the project is unable to pursue most of the site category credits as also shown in the provided scorecard. In lieu of major renovations to the envelope, the owner only has funding in place for the replacement in kind of exterior cladding in failing condition (see below for existing conditions assessment) and roof replacement (see below for existing conditions assessment on roof condition). Funding is not in place for upgraded wall insulation or new windows which significantly impact energy performance.

Type of work and status are our own standard labels, so permits compare across cities. The city's wording is in the "City's category" and "City's status" rows. We show costs under $100 as not listed, because filers often enter $0 or $1 when the city doesn't require a cost.
