this issue.
The client is a church that has set up shop in a small office park
space. The previous occupant of the space was also a "storefront
church," and they simply moved out, and the new church moved in.
There were no changes made to the interior space by the new tenant.
The city has "red tagged" the space, claiming they need to submit a full
set of architectural and engineering drawings for approval in order to
obtain a Certificate of Occupancy in accordance with the City of Houston
Building Code (NOTE: CoH BC is based on IBC 2003).
I have still to do a bit of research on this, but I am puzzled as to why
the tenant is required to do this, if they did no interior alterations.
Wouldn't this fall under the Owner's responsibility?
Comments gratefully appreciated.
