(A) Partial invalidity. In the event any part or provision of the Code is held to be illegal or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, such ruling shall not have the effect of making illegal or void other parts or provisions of the Code. It shall be presumed in such event that the Code would have been enacted had such illegal or invalid parts or provisions not been included, and the remainder of the Code shall continue in full force and effect regardless of the extent to which such illegal or invalid parts or provisions may be integrated in the remaining portions of the Code.
(B) Decisions involving existing buildings. The invalidity of any provisions of the Code as applied to existing buildings and structures shall not be held to affect the validity of such provision in its application to buildings and structures hereafter erected or altered.
(C) By virtue of law. If any provisions of these regulations are deemed to be not applicable to existing buildings or buildings being built until a fixed period of time after these regulations take effect, then such existing buildings and those being built shall continue to be regulated by laws in effect at the time of the passage of this Code, until the earliest possible time when such projects shall be governed by these regulations. All projects completed, under permit or for which permit applications have been filed prior to the effective date of this Code shall be considered "existing buildings" under this Code.
