Would a bathroom that has a window, but no exhaust fan still be up to code.

Thanks.

That's up to your building dept.

Generally yes, but local codes vary.

What's the purpose of a bathroom exhaust fan that makes it a code item?
What terrible thing happens if a bathroom doesn't have an exhaust fan. I'm
assuming code items have something to do with safety.

Not safety, rather it is needed to keep the room from rotting and
molding with all the high humidity most baths get. That is also why this
is best left to LOCAL codes since local conditions make a bid difference in
these matters.

So, your saying that if the code requires it, and the homeowner can't do
anything about it, then the contractors's bids for installing fans are
higher than they would be if the homeowners could choose to live without
them? :-)

Sure, but then the repair bills for the moisture damage will be more
than the cost of putting in the vent fan.
