Architect Failure to Perform ?
Good Morning.
Does anyone know where I can get a definition of an architect's professional standards or similar regulations ?
I have a situation where an architect designed a garage structure which does not meet the local codes, yet he wants to bill for the completed Construction Documents.
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,
Mike

Architect's license is issued by the state. Here are some basic Laws, Rules & Regulations of New York State that you could browse online.
Rules of the Board of Regents

Another source you can get help is contacting AIA New York Chapter.

They are usually very helpful in providing information related to the architecture profession and contracts.
Good luck!

Before you go through that, was the project filed and approved with the building department? I mean, did you get a permit? If you have a permit and it's being built to the permit, how do you now know that it is not built per code? Or are you trying to do the work without a permit and your contractor told you it doesn't meet code?
