				hallways and other means of egress shall be sturdy and safe. At least one-half
				of the floor area of private living quarters shall have a minimum ceiling

				and maintained in good condition, free from obvious soiling.
(2) Buildings and structures in all migrant
				labor camps and residential migrant housing shall have the corresponding
				utility connections for equipment required by this rule during occupancy. The
				owner or operator responsible for the building or structure shall ensure that
				all required heating, cooking, and water heating equipment is provided. The
				owner or operator is responsible for ensuring that the equipment is installed
				in accordance with state and local ordinances, codes, and regulations governing
