(A) Structural analysis of building. Before January 1, 1991, the owner of each building within the scope of this subchapter shall cause to be submitted to the Building Department a structural analysis of the building completed by a civil or structural engineer or architect licensed by the state. Using this structural analysis as the basis for design, the owner shall obtain the required permit(s) and shall cause the building to be structurally altered in accordance with the requirements and time periods of this subchapter.

(B) Change in type of occupancy or use of building.
(1) Change in the type of occupancy or use of a building, or portion of a building, within the scope of this subchapter shall conform to the requirements established elsewhere in this code.
(2) If such change causes the structure to come under a different seismic hazard classification, the time limits for compliance for that new classification shall apply, but the date on which the time limits begin shall not change.
(3) If such change causes the structure to come under a seismic hazard classification for which a time limit has already expired, the application for permits for the work of the change shall be denied by the Building Official. If such work is in progress without the benefit of the required permits the Building Official shall complete enforcement action as specified elsewhere in this code.
