Every residential and nonresidential 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 comply with this chapter, whether or not such building has been constructed, altered or repaired before or after the enactment of this chapter (Ordinance 1970-167, passed October 7, 1970), and irrespective of any permits or licenses which have been issued for the use or occupancy of the building, or for the installation or repair of equipment or facilities prior to the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 1970-167, passed October 7, 1970). 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 the building, except as provided in Section 1464.13. Where there is mixed occupancy, the residential or nonresidential use therein shall be nevertheless regulated subject to this chapter.
