A.
Every residential and nonresidential structure, and the premises
on which it is situated, used or intended to be used for residential,
commercial, business or industrial occupancy shall comply with the
provisions of this code, whether or not such structure shall have
been constructed, altered or repaired before or after the enactment
of this code and irrespective of any permits or licenses which shall
have been issued for the use or occupancy of structure or for the
installation or repair of equipment or facilities prior to the effective
date of this code.
B.
This code establishes minimum standards for the initial and continued occupancy and use of all structures and premises. This code does not replace or modify standards otherwise established for the construction, repair, alteration or use of the structure, premises, equipment or facilities contained therein, except as provided in § 173-6.
C.
Where there is mixed occupancy, residential or nonresidential, the
use therein shall be nevertheless regulated by and subject to the
provisions of this code.
If the provisions of this code impose a lower standard than
any other ordinance of the Township of Egg Harbor or the laws of the
State of New Jersey, then the higher standard shall prevail.
Nothing in this code shall be deemed to abolish or impair existing
remedies of the municipality, or its officers or agencies, relating
to the removal or demolition of any structures which are deemed to
be dangerous, unsafe or unsanitary.
