31. The floor level of the dwelling (item 9).

The level of the floor for each dwelling located in the building will be recorded where it is situated (basement, semi-basement, mezzanine, the number of the floor or of the attic). For the dwellings located in the basement, semi-basement, ground and attic, the corresponding floor is recorded by entering the mark x in the box of the corresponding code, according to the existing situation (30, 40, 50, or 60).

Whether the dwelling is located at the upper floor, the floor number will be recorded in Arabic numbers (for example: 01, 05, 11) in the cassette designated to this aim.

The dwellings having living rooms located in several floors (representing a whole unit, from the construction's and functional point of view) will be considered at the same level as the main entrance in the dwelling.

For the dwellings having detached rooms, using separate entrances, or located in other levels in the form the level where the dwelling is situated, the detached rooms being considered, conventionally, that are situated at the same level with this will be recorded.

The marginal housing units, regardless where these are located, should not to be mentioned the level of the floor.

[p. 25]

When the floor level, where the dwelling is situated, is recorded, the following has to be taken into consideration:


a) The level of the floor is a space in a building, between two successive floors, where the free space from the floor to the ceiling elements (beams, pipes, etc.) reaching from the floor to the ceiling at least to a high of 1.80 m. above the ground. The following are considered as levels of the floor: the basement, semi- basement, the ground, the mezzanine, each floor and the attic.
b) The garret, the partial or intermediary concrete panel floors, the cellar, are not considered levels.
c) The basement is a level where more than half of the height of the rooms is under the level of the ground.
d) The semi-basement is the level having no more than half of the spaces under the level of the ground.
e) The ground, is the level where the lower floor is at the same level with the ground or roughly at the same level; sometimes this level is situated above the ground (about 1,50 m).
f) The floor represents any level, having the same plan spreading, situated either between ground floor and mezzanine, or between the attic, garret or terrace. The mezzanine is the level inserted between the ground floor and the first floor, being different from the other floors, either by its lower height or the absence of balconies or by the designation (accessories spaces for the ground stores, warehouse for goods, workshops or offices). It will be considered as first floor and the rest of floors will be numbered continuously.
g) The attic is the level built above other levels and just below the roof of a house. Generally, the height in the attic up to the ceiling is at least 1.80 m.
