(A) The purpose of this subchapter is to protect the public health, safety and welfare in buildings intended for human habitation and accessory structures as hereinafter provided by:
(1) Establishing minimum standards for exterior property areas, exterior structure, interior structure, basic facilities, light and ventilation, occupancy requirements and fire safety. These standards are designed to be reasonably high, but at the same time, practical and attainable, but should not be interpreted as a guarantee to the tenant;
(2) Fixing the responsibility of owners of every building or structure used or intended for use or occupancy, in whole or in part, as a rental unit; and
(3) Providing for administration, enforcement and penalties.
(B) The provisions of this subchapter shall apply to all existing rental units. Any new building construction or additions to existing structures in the village must comply with the requirements of the building code as amended. The minimum standards required under this code are designed to prevent fire hazard, structural deterioration, inadequate light, air and heat, and unsanitary and over crowded conditions, which constitute a menace to the safety, health and welfare of the tenants in a rental unit and/or the surrounding area.
