Every structure and the premises on which it is situated in the city used or intended to be used for commercial, business, institutional or industrial purposes shall comply with the provisions of this chapter, whether or not the structure shall have been constructed, altered or repaired before or after the enactment of this Code, irrespective of any permits or licenses which shall have been issued for the use or occupancy of the structure or premises and notwithstanding any permit which shall have been issued for the construction or repair of the structure or for the installation or repair of equipment or facilities prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter was derived. This section establishes certain standards for the initial and continued occupancy and use of all such structures and does not replace or modify standards otherwise established for the construction, repair, alteration or use of the structure, the premises or the equipment or facilities contained in the structure or on the premises.
