"The Housing Code is a set of local government ordinances that establish minimum standards for safety and sanitation in existing residential buildings. These regulations ensure that living conditions in older buildings remain safe and habitable for tenants. Housing Codes typically address structural soundness, pest control, and basic living necessities like running water and heating, contrasting with Building Codes, which apply to new construction."
