However, the owners of said buildings and/or property must alert the Building Code Official to prior registration(s) and the Building Code Official shall take measures to transition any registration payments or time computations into the parameters set by this chapter.
   (C)   Any civil actions or other legal processes brought under prior codes are still in effect until the resolution of such issue and shall be governed by the language and rules of the prior code under which the issue was instituted.
