A.
Every building and premises in the City that is used or intended
to be used for uses covered by this Code shall comply with the provisions
of this Code, whether or not such building shall have been constructed,
altered or repaired before or after the adoption of this Code and
irrespective of any permit or license which shall have been issued
for the use or occupancy of the building or premises, for the construction
or repair of the building 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 such buildings, and does not replace or modify standards otherwise established for the construction, repair, alteration or use of the building, equipment or facilities contained herein except as provided in § 320-9. Where there is mixed occupancy, the residential and/or nonresidential uses herein also shall be regulated by and subject to the provisions of this Code.
In any case where the provisions of this Code impose a higher
standard than set forth in any other ordinance of the City or under
the laws of the State of New Jersey, then the standards set forth
herein shall prevail, but if the provisions of this Code impose a
lower standard than any other ordinance of the City or of the laws
of the State of New Jersey, then the higher standard contained in
any other such ordinance or law shall prevail.
Compliance with this Code shall not constitute a defense against
any other violation of any other local ordinance applicable to any
structure or premises, nor shall any provision herein relieve any
owner, operator, or occupant from complying with any such other provision,
nor any official of the City from enforcing any such other provision.
To the extent that any other ordinance(s) of the City regulates the
subject matter regulated by this Code, the Code and the other ordinance(s)
of the City shall be construed together, if possible, and the remedies
of this Code and the other ordinance(s) of the City shall be cumulative.
