The problem with changing the building code is that the response would be much slower than banning the devices. Landlords notoriously don’t update their properties. But when the stove breaks, which it will, they would be forced to buying something that is healthier and more efficient.


Don't all serious proposals to ban gas stoves only ban installing new ones, rather than like-kind replacement?


Not sure, but I would be surprised if that were not the case.
