§ 26-6. Minor alterations and new mechanical systems.

Latest version.

Minor alterations or repairs to an existing building which do not adversely affect the performance or safety of the building may be made with the same or like materials. Existing buildings which, in part or as a whole, exceed the requirements of any applicable construction or fire safety code may, in the course of compliance with this chapter, have reduced or removed, in part or total, features not required by such code for new construction; provided, however, that such features were not a condition of prior approval. An existing building or structure which, in part or as a whole, does not meet the requirements of any applicable code for new construction may be altered or repaired without further compliance to any such code by utilizing the provisions of this chapter, provided such building's present degree of compliance to any applicable construction or fire safety code is not reduced. Any new mechanical systems installed in an existing building shall conform to applicable codes for new construction to the fullest extent practical as approved by the building inspector.
