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.
