36. The owner of a building may not change the use or intended purpose of the building without bringing it into conformity with the Construction Code (chapter B-1.1, r. 2) where, according to that Code, the new use or new intended purpose would necessitate more stringent safety requirements for persons having access to the building.
This section does not apply where the building becomes a building excluded under the first paragraph of section 29 by reason of a change in its use or intended purpose.
