Whether the municipal practice of excluding elevator shafts from SBP/CUS can be justified by equal treatment in illegality
No. The municipality had not shown that it would persist in its unlawful interpretation; the presumption is that it will now comply with the law.
Equal treatment in illegality is exceptional and requires a constant unlawful practice plus a foreseeable intention to continue it. Here the municipality treated the exclusion as a legal interpretation, and nothing indicated future persistence once the illegality was judicially identified.
