Operators and subdividers working under ch. 16.32 § 16.32.050 are generally expected to bring the property into full compliance with Anderson's Title 15 building codes, coordinate with the fire chief on alarm and protection systems, and commission a certified acoustical report on sound transmission for each unit. Separate gas and electric meters, weatherized lockable storage of at least 240 cubic feet per unit (where individual garages are absent), and domestic water metering are among the physical requirements that compliant projects typically address.
