(a)Definitions.

(1)"Hotels/motels" means buildings or groups of buildings under the same management in which there are sleeping accommodations for hire, primarily used by transients who are lodged with or without meals, whether designated as a hotel, inn, club or motel, or by any other name. So-called apartment hotels, because they are potentially subject to transient occupancy like that of hotels, shall be classified as hotels.

(2)"Dormitories" means buildings or spaces in buildings where group sleeping accommodations are provided for persons not members of the same family group, in one room or in a series of closely associated rooms under joint occupancy and single- management, as in college dormitories, fraternity houses, sorority houses, with or without meals, but without individual cooking facilities.

(3)"Apartment houses" means buildings containing three or more living units with independent cooking and bathroom facilities, whether designated as Apartment House, Apartments for the Elderly, Tenement, Garden Apartments, or by any other name. Apartments for the elderly are specifically designed for housing older individuals who are capable of self-preservation.

(4)"Rooming houses" Includes buildings in which separate sleeping rooms are rented, providing sleeping accommodations for persons on either a transient or permanent basis, with or without meals, but without separate cooking facilities for individual occupants.

(b)Approved installation. All residential occupancies as defined in (a) of this section shall have smoke detection as prescribed by the building codes as most recently adopted by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission.
