Applicability
Operative Text
Every portion of a building or premises used or intended to be used for residential purposes in the Village of Spring Valley shall comply with the provisions of this code.
Section 147-5 of Spring Valley's Code of Ordinances establishes that the housing standards set out in Chapter 147 apply broadly to all residential spaces within the Village of Spring Valley. This means any part of a building or property that is used—or is meant to be used—for people to live in falls under the code's requirements. The rule does not carve out exceptions based on building type, age, or ownership structure.

Under § 147-5, operators of any residential property in Spring Valley—whether a single-family home, multi-unit building, or any portion of a mixed-use structure intended for habitation—are generally expected to bring every such space into compliance with Chapter 147's standards. Compliance applies to the entire residential footprint of a property, not just common areas or primary units. Keeping documentation of maintenance and inspections for all residential portions of a building is a practice consistent with meeting this broad applicability requirement.

Section 147-5 establishes that every residential space in the Village of Spring Valley is covered by Chapter 147, meaning tenants living in any type of residential unit in the village are entitled to the protections the code provides. If a landlord claims a particular space or building type is exempt from the code, § 147-5's broad language may be relevant to that dispute. Tenants who believe their unit is not being maintained in accordance with Chapter 147 can explore options such as filing a complaint with the village's code enforcement office or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance.
