(A) The provisions of this code shall apply to all premises, structures, and buildings as defined by the Ayden Zoning Ordinance located within the B-1 Central Business District and the B-2 Highway Commercial District.

This code establishes minimum standards for the initial and continued occupancy and/or use of all such buildings, and does not replace or modify standards otherwise established for the construction, repair, alteration, or use of the building, equipment or facilities contained therein.
(B) The provisions of this code apply whether the structure or building is occupied or vacant. All unoccupied or vacant structures or buildings shall be secured by any party in interest to prevent the entry of unauthorized persons or the occurrences of conditions not permitted by law.
