(b) Any rights conferred on a nonconformity run with the property. They are not affected by changes in tenancy or ownership.
(c) The operation, expansion, and replacement of a nonconformity shall be subject to the limitations in this § 14-305 (Nonconformities).
(d) The burden of establishing the prior existence of a nonconformity is on the applicant.
