Building, Existing
Building, Existing : Any structure erected or officially authorized prior to the effective date of the adoption of this edition of the Code by the agency or jurisdiction. With respect to judging whether a building should be considered existing, the deciding factor is not when the building was designed or when construction started but rather the date plans were approved for construction by the appropriate authority having jurisdiction. It is intended that the initial assessment of the building, when new, should be based on new occupancy requirements for the edition of the Code in effect on the date of plan approval. Subsequent assessments of the building made while that edition of the Code is still in effect should also be based on new occupancy requirements
