Here is the problem:
a building was built as a shell with no occupants listed at time of construction under one ownership.....no lot lines.....near completion of said project the owner decides to add lot lines between all the units and the planning department allows it. Several years later after the original owner losses the property and had no tenants or sales of individual parcels we have a new investor. They now want to sell multiple lots and have them communicate without walls or with openings. My question comes with code backing......how do i stop that breach across the propoerty lines and if there is no wall due to the change after the fact where in the code does it require them to be placed? Our attorney wants to know as we are out of the 2009 IBC and does not see a good definition in 706 or 602 or any other place that he says we can hang our hats on.....Your thoughts?
