The whole system is flawed in more way than one all across the board.
When it comes to SF residential there should be no fixed codes but rather rating types for the home, be it non-conforming, specialty and its subcategories, generic and highest standards applied with an open adoption of anything new or further that can be recognized. When it comes to all buildings that are to be occupied by the public (inclusive of apartments)... then one can place the government into the equation and create all the hoopla. Otherwise a person should be allowed to buy and or build what ever they like, crap or not crap, straw, caged rocks, mud, brick, or anything else one can compile and use.
No-one should assume an insurance companies or banks needs must be met when a person may choose not to insure a house they bought with cash. Freedoms should be observed when it comes to the private citizen and his or her domicile. As it stands, one can pitch a tent on their own property and live in that if they like, even though some would like to misconstrue the code pertaining to tents in the Hawaii code which only apply to special events and commercial/organized religion applications only. So... if one has the right to live in a tent of their own choice they certainly have the right to live in what ever they like, regardless of its fabrication method.
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
