(A) The provisions of the Housing Code shall apply to all structures used for human habitation, which are now, or may become in future, sub-standard with respect to structure, protection against fire hazard, equipment or maintenance, inadequate provisions for light and air, lack of proper heating, unsanitary conditions and overcrowding, or otherwise may be deemed to constitute a menace to the safety, health or welfare of their occupants; except as provided in § 151.007 of this chapter. The existence of such conditions, factors or characteristics adversely affect public safety, health and welfare and lead to the continuation, extension and aggravation of urban blight. Adequate protection of the public, therefore, requires the establishment and enforcement of these minimum housing standards.
(B) All moveable units used for human habitation and the areas, grounds or parcels on which they are located, as provided in Section 425 of the Basic Building Code, or such other codes, laws or chapters of the city applicable thereto, shall comply with the requirements of this Housing Code.
