CODES ANALYSIS/UPDATES Rationalize why or why not the existing building should

If the building doesn't already have the fire alarm systems installed then it most definitely needs to be conformed to the code, howeve

There certainly needs to be functioning Exit signs displayed at all main entrances and exits. The existing building should be conformed

The building should conform to the code because a fire extinguisher should be required in a business no matter what.

Assuming that the walls are made of noncombustible materials the building should not conform to code.

Assuming the building has not been deemed unsafe the building should not conform to code.

Assuming that there has been no substantial structural damage to the building I do not believe it needs to conform to the code.
ed and made sure they are up to code.
