"Cumulative substantial improvement" means the total cost of all improvements, modifications, additions, reconstruction, or repairs to a structure in order to determine the applicability of the substantial improvement provisions of this title. When the total cost of all improvements, modifications, additions, reconstruction or repairs equals or exceeds the fifty percent substantial improvement threshold, the structure must be brought into compliance. The cumulative substantial improvement provision does not apply to tenant improvements of commercial structures or to the subsequent remodeling of any residential facility (e.g. kitchen or bathroom) that have been remodeled previously and accounted for under this provision.
