Either your architect/engineer will inspect, or you’ll hire an inspection company to do it. Whoever inspects has to be listed on the DOB’s TR-1 form, and has to sign off on the form that they did the inspection, not only for the footings, but for other things like rebar placement/sizing, etc. Your architect or engineer should be able to walk you through these things. Also, maybe the building code allows a porch foundation to be shallower than a building foundation, but foundations need to go down to 4′ below grade, not 3′ below grade. jcarch ———————— James Cleary Architecture brownstoner.staging.wpengine.com/jamescleary

Just one last question, how would the dob inspect that? how would they know if it is 3′ below ground?

3′ below grade and a footing would be required by code, to get you below the frost line.

So is it similar to this picture? an 8″ footing then a 2’4″ foundation? isn’t that an overkill for a 3′ extension to the stair?

The stoop is being enlarged and to support the addition they propose digging down 3′ and placing an 8″ tall footing and 2′-4″ high foundation. There are no dimensions for the width of the extension, but it may be sized in the plan view.

I know how to read most of it, just not sure what the 8″ and 2’4″ refer to.
