But it's different when you build a house and people other than yourself are going to live there- you don't have to care as much. Most places have two different sets of codes, one for owner-occupied buildings and one for everything else. It's the same with banks- interest rates are lower and terms are longer if the facility is owner occupied, because the bank assumes it will be better cared for.

OK, then why dont to laws apply equally to hotels, motels, and dorms? They are not owner occupied.
It all comes down to towns passing 2 sets of rules . One for us and one for them.
