13 delay, within ten years, unless such building or structure is altered,
14 in which case the code shall immediately apply to all alterations to
15 such building or structure provided, however, that subsequent to the
16 effective date of this subdivision, the legislature may exempt a specif-
17 ic building or structure, which shall be identified by its legal
