Does the code ever require upgrades in an existing building when there has been no change of ownership or change of occupancy? |

Yes, one example of that in the past are hood suppression systems in restaurants. In the 1980’s building and fire codes recognized the advantage of fire suppression systems in hoods over cooking appliances in kitchens. All existing restaurants or occupancies where commercial cooking was done were required to install hood fire suppression systems in a reasonable period of time.
