I don’t think there’s a set answer to building reuse, because it depends on the building codes for each state, then maybe specific regulations by municipality. And does access by “public” mean anybody, or would members of a group be covered by the group’s Insurance, and therefore OK. An insurance company would have to answer that one, and policies would be shopped around for price and coverage based on this and other factors anyway. Don’t know enough about the process however, so others who have been through it with a recycled building would know better.
