Scenario:
You have an existing commercial building that consists of 2 empty old "store fronts" on the bottom, facing the street and residential apartments above. It is an older building, Type V construction, NS (non-sprinklered).
A municipal permit research reveals no permitting back as far as you can check and a check with the State that handled all commercial permitting also reveals no C of O or past permit. It is essentially an "uncertified building" that has been in existence for years.
A new tenant wants to put in a tattoo parlor and fills out a permit application stating they are not going to do any work other than place a counter and use 1 room for a tattoo station. There is 1 bathroom in the location (approximately 800 square feet) that is extremely small and in no way even comes close to ADA accessible.
Questions:
Q1) Will you require the restroom to be ADA compliant?
Q2) Would you require a permit at all?
