This code establishes minimum standards for maintaining dwellings, accessory structures and premises. This code is intended to provide standards for housing, owner occupied and rental. Applicable requirements shall apply to all apartment units, homes, accessory structures, rooming houses, lodging and/or boarding houses and mobile homes used, or intended for use, for human habitation except rest homes, convalescent homes, nursing homes, hotels, motels or dormitories. Where any building or portion thereof is used or intended to be used as a combination apartment house-hotel, the provisions of this code shall apply to the separate portions as if they were separate buildings. Dwellings, in existence at the time of the adoption of this code may have their existing use or occupancy continued, if such use or occupancy was legal at the time of the adoption of this code, provided such continued use is not dangerous to life, health, property, or public welfare.
