Cat and Hotzcatz would know better than I, but I thought grandfathering unpermitted structures applied only to buildings that were built before building permits were a requirement. Say it was built in 1900, it's grandfathered. 1975, it isn't. Correct me if wrong.
I think it is if it was built before 1915 and has documentation prior to 1930 that it is fully grandfathered in. A lot of the sugar plantation buildings fit within these requirements. There are also limits to the amount of work which can be done to a grandfathered structure before it needs to be brought up to various codes.
