    The 2026 Chicago Mechanical Zoning Code
    The NBOA Invites you to an informative Zoom call hosting lead officials from the Chicago Department of Buildings (DOB) who requested the opportunity to familiarize the NBOA community about the 2026 Chicago Mechanical Code, part of Phase 3 of the Chicago Construction Codes Modernization Initiative. DOB Commissioner Marlene Hopkins and Managing Deputy Commissioner Grant Ullrich will walk through what’s changing for building owners — including new ventilation standards for residential buildings, updated requirements for next-generation air conditioning systems, and gas-piping and appliance-safety updates for the first time in 25 years. Come with plenty of questions, as this is an opportunity to connect with the department as the package moves through the City Council.

    Time permitting, our moderator, Ian Hoffenberg, will open the meeting up so that attendees can pose questions on other DOB issues.
