{Dab}; being lived in is what happens to its object. You could redundantly say {juHDaq vIDab} "I inhabit it at my house",

I think that even being redundant here still is wrong. {juHlIjDaq nuq DaDab?}

but I don't think {*vIba'} "I sit it" works.

Me neither. If it would take an object, it would be {quS *vIba'}. But as we know that it's {quSDaq ba'lu'}, it seems clear that ba' does not take an object. See it as a clear locative: You can do many things on a chair: {quSDaq jIba'} {quSDaq jIQam} {quSDaq jIQong} {quSDaq jIyIt} {quSDaq jISop} -- Lieven L.
