Compliance required
Operative Text
A. Buildings occupied in whole or in part as defined in this Part 1 shall comply with the requirements hereinafter set forth concerning occupancy, size, light and ventilation in order to provide a safe and healthful environment. B. The term "accessory use" shall have a uniform meaning and shall apply in the same manner and under the same conditions or restrictions to all residential buildings.
Waverly, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 93 § 93-8 establishes that any building used—fully or partially—as a residence must meet the code's standards for occupancy limits, minimum size, lighting, and ventilation. The provision also standardizes the definition of 'accessory use' so that it applies consistently and equally across all residential buildings, without variation based on building type or ownership. Together, these requirements form the baseline compliance framework for residential properties in Waverly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 93 § 93-8, operators of residential properties in Waverly—whether the building is entirely residential or only partially so—are generally expected to ensure their units satisfy the code's occupancy, size, light, and ventilation standards at all times. Compliant operators also apply the 'accessory use' definition uniformly across their residential portfolio, without treating similar structures differently. Maintaining documentation of how each building meets these baseline requirements is a common practice among property managers operating under this type of provision.
