Residential premises shall be maintained in
conformity with the provisions of this chapter so as to assure the
desirable residential character of the property.
In every multiple dwelling containing 15 or
more dwelling units, there shall be living on the premises and regularly
present there a competent, English-speaking adult superintendent or
manager who shall be responsible for the conduct, operation and maintenance
of such dwelling, except that where two such dwellings under the same
ownership are connected or adjoining, one such superintendent or manager
shall be sufficient for both dwellings. During any temporary absence
of such superintendent or manager, there shall be present on said
premises at all times a competent, English-speaking adult who is charged
with the responsibility of dealing with an emergency situation that
may arise.
