darcar,
From the 2006 IRC, Section R102.7 - Existing structures would apply
until they move it.
See also, Appendix J. When they move the structure, then Section R102.7.1 would apply,
because they will have to devise / construct a new foundation systems, and possibly
other systems will need to become compliant before the C. of O. is issued. See
Section R110 - Certificate of Occupancy.
Section R102.7 Existing structures.
"The legal occupancy of any structure existing on the date of adoption of this code shall be
permitted to continue without change, except as is specifically covered in this code, the
International Property Maintenance Code or the
International Fire Code, or as is deemed
necessary by the Building Official for the general safety and welfare of the occupants and
the public."
Section R102.7.1 - Additions, alterations or repairs.
"Additions, alterations or repairs to any structure shall conform to the requirements for a
new structure without requiring the existing structure to comply with all of the requirements
of this code, unless otherwise stated. Additions, alterations or repairs shall not cause an
existing structure to become unsafe or adversely affect the performance of the building."
If a modular / mobile residence, see Appendix E,
...until they move it.
Does this help?
