A Note to Architects...
When you’re working out occupancies on existing buildings, keep in mind that any change in occupancy is considered an Alteration (Section 202 Definitions). That means that even if your client is just doing cosmetic work that wouldn’t normally be an Alteration (such as normal maintenance, reroofing, painting, or mechanical and electrical system changes), the change in occupancy alone classifies it as an Alteration.
