These standards are intended to produce adequate, safe and sanitary dwellings, at the lowest cost compatible with economical maintenance and low rent, and which will help preserve the character of the development during the life of the project.
(b)Except where required, these standards are for guidance. Housing authorities and architects are expected to use judgment and imagination. The Division of Housing will welcome all efforts to improve the livability, architectural quality, and economical construction and operation of projects.
