The Massachusetts building code requires commercial buildings with residential housing above to comply with the International Building Code (IBC) for commercial structures and the International Residential Code (IRC) for residential units. Specific requirements may vary depending on the type of occupancy and building classification. It is recommended to consult with a local building official for accurate information.
