What if my current building becomes nonconforming? Do I have to bring into conformance under the new standards?

No.  The only reason you would need to bring your building into conformance with the new standards is if you build an addition that is more than 50% of the value of the current structure.  Then you must bring the structure into conformance with the new standards.  Otherwise, building may remain as it is.  No updates are required.
