What is the proper and legal method of dealing with 1920s buildings built before any code adoptions in the area that have been unoccupied for decades but are now wanting to resume operations as they were in the past.
There is no proposed change in use or occupancy but they are extremely non compliant.
The buildings are over size, too close to property lines and other buildings, not sprinklered, no fire alarms, etc.
The list of violations is as long as a code book.
Some violations like size and location cannot be fixed.
What is the code solution for this?
