History of the structure: Single Family Dwelling probably built in 1920s. In 1960 the American Red Cross purchased it and began using it as their regional office. It is now being purchased by someone who wishes to use as a single family dwelling again. With the exception of a commercial kitchen being installed, it has been mostly unaltered original.
I know how to handle change of occupancies for just about anything else, but I have no clue on how to deal with the transition from any occupancy classification in the IBC back to the IRC. What, if anything, needs to be brought into compliance with the current IRC. Where can I find this in the books? Do I make them remove the commercial range from the kitchen? Smoke alarms? CO? Electric?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
