can anyone tell me if i have an existing elevator shaft that we are adding onto the top of, if i will be required to add a sump pit and pump too. the building previously has no sump pump or sump for that matter. the code official here is saying since we are adding onto the existing shaft, that we will be required to add the sump pump now. there is no sprinkler system in the shaft and no ground water issues.
