Its ultimate aim is to protect the safety, health, and welfare of people who live in or use residential premises in Waverly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Chapter 93, § 93-2 signals that Waverly's residential code is built around uniform, performance-based requirements rather than ad hoc judgments, meaning compliant operators generally maintain properties to consistent, documented standards across all units. Understanding that the code's stated purpose centers on occupant safety, health, and welfare helps property managers anticipate how inspectors and enforcement bodies will interpret specific requirements downstream. Familiarity with this foundational purpose clause can inform how operators approach maintenance planning and recordkeeping under the broader Chapter 93 framework.

Section 93-2 establishes that Waverly's residential code exists specifically to safeguard the safety, health, and welfare of occupants like tenants — not merely to set abstract property standards. This purpose clause can be relevant context when raising a housing-condition concern, since it underscores that the specific requirements elsewhere in Chapter 93 are meant to protect the people living in the dwelling. Tenants who believe conditions in their home fall short of those standards may explore options such as contacting the appropriate Waverly code enforcement office or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
