Permit Required?

Would you require a permit for this?
Yes it would have to be permitted prior to existing.

Also check to see it IBC 2018 Appendix N has been adopted, this may allow the structure to be in compliance.

There is a company near us taking these containers and modifying them into bank buildings. They look pretty nice, and hard to tell that they are containers. They do a nice jobe with the modifications.

Your photo does not look like they meet any energy codes!:eek:
 
I guess my questions are it looks like its old, just because the wood ramps are new, can you establish when it became part of the landscape?

Once I knew when it arrived at its current place, I would then verify that against the requirements in the AHJ at that time.

IF permitting was required, then move forward, but yes to a permit under current PA requirements, maybe no depending on when it became part of the landscape.
