Does leaking water considered violation of building code

[Jacky Johnson]

There has been heavy rain in the past few days and a few of my units in my old apartment have experienced leaking from the trim near the floor resulting in puddles of water and dripping above the windows inside the unit. This culprit may be a leaking pipe near the walls. Does this kind of leaking (resulting in puddles of water and dripping above the window) generally consider a form of building code violation? Why or why not? Thank you.

Rather than worrying about whether or not it is a violation of building code, I'd work on figuring out how to fix it before it causes more problems.  Get the area dried out as quickly as possible to avoid mold.
