The rules apply broadly to land parcels, residential buildings of all sizes—from single-family homes to multi-unit dwellings—residential portions of mixed-use buildings, and accessory structures tied to residential uses.

Under ch. 321 § 321-2, property owners and managers should recognize that the chapter's obligations extend across a wide range of property types, including one- and two-family homes, apartment buildings, mixed-use properties with residential units, and outbuildings or accessory structures connected to residential occupancies. Compliant operators typically assess every structure on a parcel—not just the primary dwelling—to determine whether the chapter's standards apply. Owners of mixed-use buildings should pay particular attention to the residential occupancy portions, which fall squarely within the chapter's reach.
