Hmm.
Consider this shower:
This was apparently built between 1957 and 1966, but without the required City permits. It's now come to light with the authority having jurisdiction, and must be inspected to meet the 2019 California Residential Code. The City has no problem with the galvanized pipe, but wants the required water barrier "verified".
It looks to me like painted drywall, on some form of pan, the pan is tiled.
Are there any possible options for raising this up to the 2019 code without completely demolishing it? My concern with demolishing it is the new shower would have to meet present 2019 dimensions and clearances, including upgrading the window that's just out of view to tempered glass.
