    (1)

    All noted conditions hazardous to life, based on the provisions of applicable state and local standards or codes for existing buildings and outlined in section 26-4, shall be corrected to a reasonable and realistic degree as set forth in this chapter;

    (2)

    The existing building becomes compliant with the minimum performance standard; and
