Every residential, public, business and industrial building and the premises on which it is situated in the City, used or intended to be used for dwelling, commercial or business occupancy, shall be in compliance with this chapter, whether or not such building has been constructed, altered or repaired before or after the enactment of this chapter (Ordinance 1980-56, passed November 25, 1980) and irrespective of any permit or license which has been issued for the use or occupancy of the building or for the installation or repair of equipment or facilities prior to its effective date. This chapter establishes minimum standards for the initial and continued occupancy and use of all such buildings and does not replace or modify standards otherwise established for the construction, repair, alteration or use of a building, except as provided in Section 1353.04. Mixed occupancy and residential and nonresidential use therein shall nevertheless be regulated by this chapter.
