Under this provision, a 'dwelling' refers to any building containing two or more apartments intended for residential use, while a 'dwelling unit' refers to a single, self-contained apartment within such a building. These definitions set the scope of which properties and spaces are subject to the rules that follow in Chapter 114.

A single-family home would generally fall outside this definition, while a duplex or larger multi-unit building would typically fall within it.
