For Property Managers

Property owners and managers subject to Rockdale Ch. 22 Art. VIII § 22-203 generally maintain a routine inspection schedule to identify broken glass, compromised seals around window frames and skylights, and damaged screens before violations are cited. Compliant operators promptly repair or replace any window or skylight that shows gaps allowing water infiltration or pest entry, and they replace torn or holed storm door and window screens as part of regular upkeep. Keeping maintenance records that document inspections and completed repairs is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

For Tenants

Rockdale Ch. 22 Art. VIII § 22-203 gives tenants a basis to expect that windows, skylights, and screens in their unit are properly maintained — free of broken glass, adequately sealed against moisture and pests, and without torn or holed screens. If these conditions are not met, tenants may have grounds to report the issue to the local code enforcement or property maintenance authority responsible for enforcing Chapter 22. Tenant-rights organizations in the area can provide general information about available complaint processes and what documentation, such as photographs and written notices to the landlord, is typically useful when raising a maintenance concern under this provision.
