While they will meet the required standards for safety it's less like!y they will have things like sprinklers and retrofitting enclosed fire escapes may mean compromises in accessibility.

with a narrow central spiral staircase right up to the top floor.
one of the city museums in New York was a tenement (run by a lesbian cooperative actually) . THAT had been a tenement but the owner cdnt be arrissed to modify the 1910 ( yup) fire prevention orders
so he HAD hammered tin foil to the ceilings and constructed air vents ( vertical ) as air conduits.
This led to worse fires as they acted in a fire as chimneys spreading it from floor to floor
( so fire precautions may bot work)
