The first thing we need, is to decide if Dan's inspection was a "townhouse" or a "condominium".

My first first question: is the legal definition (the form of ownership) always the same as the AHJ's determination as to the code status (town home/condo) of the structure.

What I'm envisioning in the case of this property is a townhome like multi-floor unit (each unit has open space on at least two sides) sharing a common wall with one or two adjacent units. If it's legally held as condo, but is similar in construction to a "townhome", what is it in terms of code requirements?
