2.The full width of the sidewalk, walkway, or pathway that falls within the zone specified in Section 3307.6.2, except for a clearance to avoid existing obstructions, not to exceed 18 inches (457 mm) along the curb. Exceptions: 1. Where it is not possible to bring the deck tightly against the face of an abutting building, structure, or fence, the deck shall be brought to within 1 inch (25 mm) of the face of such building, structure, or fence, with the resulting gap sealed or covered by material of sufficient manner and strength capable of trapping falling debris.
3.When installed exclusively for the maintenance or repair of an existing facade of a building, and the building does not have any setbacks above the second story, nor any permanent or temporary projections above the second story, other than air conditioning units or window lintels or sills, the sidewalk shed decking need not cover sidewalks, walkways, or pathways, or portions thereof that are more than 40 feet (12 192 mm) from such building unless the commissioner orders a larger area to be covered due to a unique hazard at the site.
