If I plan to purchase and redevelop a property in the City of Monmouth does the building have to be brought up to current code? |

Bringing the occupancy up to current code happens when the occupancy classification changes like taking a former Mercantile occupancy like Touch of Country and turning it into After Dark, an Assembly -3, Dance Hall. Bringing the occupancy up to current code should also happen when there is a change in the division of the same occupancy. For example, if After Dark wants to include a restaurant or put in a theater that changes the division class within the assembly occupancy classification. These changes would change the use from Assembly-3 to an Assembly-2 or Assembly-1 requiring an upgrade to the existing code.
