| Oct 4, 2015 at 15:43 | comment | added | Hank | Code is based on when the structure is built or substantially renovated... so are you asking if it's legal as is right now, or if it would be legal if it were built today? Also there is some additional information needed like the spacing and the roof snow load. But 2x4s seem likely undersized by current standards. | |
