Determine the flat roof snow load for a building located in Niagara Falls, NY using ASCE 7 and the Building Code of New York State requirements. Assume the building is in a location with terrain category C, with a partially exposed roof, it is a risk category II, and the structure is heated and does not have a ventilated roof. Use the Building Code of New York State 2020 Uniform Code Supplement. Check the elevation of Niagara Falls and indicate if an elevation adjustment is required.
