There are no rank affiliations with any building. If you can legitimately buy the building type deed from a deedmaster, you can use it to claim the building.

At one point, *many* real-time years ago there was a notoriety requirement to use *any* building deed, but that has instead been changed to what is hopefully a more realistic deedmaster notoriety requirement to actually buy the deed. It sounds like the confusion is probably stemming from long-term players who weren't aware or don't remember that this changed.
