It may be that both Mr. Simpson’s and Mr. Temple’s applications for two-flat certificates were related to the District’s 1961 Building Code, which had imposed new fire safety requirements on all buildings with more than two living units. See Building Code (1961) Arts. 8A, 8C and Table 100. In 1970, Mr. Temple testified before the BZA that, if given a variance, "in restoring the building to its original use, I would in effect be adding * * * the required fireproofing.” Supplemental] R[ecord] 6; see also S.R. 26 ("I’m putting fireproofing in the basement"). District’s brief at 7 n. 9 (emphasis in original).
