Dayton Ch. 113 Rental Dwellings § 113.080 establishes that every building, or any part of a building, must meet specific standards for fire-resistant construction and must be equipped with fire warning and fire extinguishing devices as defined by Chapter 113 and the applicable Fire Code. The rule sets a baseline safety floor that applies broadly across covered structures. It ties together construction standards and active fire-safety equipment requirements under a single general mandate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.080, compliant property operators ensure that their buildings meet the fire-resistive construction standards outlined in Chapter 113 and the Fire Code, and that functioning fire warning and extinguishing devices are installed throughout. Routine inspections and maintenance of smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and other required equipment are part of standard operating practice for covered properties. Violations of § 113.080 carry penalties as specified in § 113.999, so keeping documentation of inspections and device maintenance is a common practice among operators.

Section 113.080 gives tenants a basis to expect that their building meets fire-resistive construction standards and is equipped with required fire warning and extinguishing devices. If a rental unit or common area appears to lack working smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, or other required equipment, tenants may report the condition to the appropriate Dayton code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how a violation of § 113.080 might be raised in a housing complaint or used as a defense in related proceedings.
