Mary Krugman just sent some info on New Jersey Code.  I'll give you my
understanding of the background on the new sub code.  New Jersey has a statewide
uniform construction code that is modeled on BOCA(http://www.bocai.org/) code
and is administered by the Department of Community
Affairs(http://www.state.nj.us/dca/dcahome.htm).  Realizing that the
construction code, while suitable for new construction, often contained
requirements that were destructive to important elements of historic properties
the DCA attempted to develop a subcode that could be used with historic
property.  As Mary said it was introduced in 1998.  There doesn't seem to be
anything on-line but below is the address and phone number I got from the web
site.  They produced a helpful guide to the subcode that you may want to see.
You might also find information at the International Code Council web
site(http://www.intlcode.org/).

It was very resourceful of you to find the BP list.  Will you be including it in
your source list? ;^)
