Under ch. 182 § 182-6, property owners and managers who carry out corrective work on residential premises are expected to ensure that all installations, alterations, and repairs—along with the materials and equipment used—meet recognized safety standards. A compliant operator typically uses materials and methods that conform to the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and generally accepted construction standards. Keeping documentation of the products, assemblies, and contractors used can help demonstrate that corrective work met the requirements of this section.

Section 182-6 of Auburn's housing code gives tenants a basis to expect that any repair or corrective work performed on their residential premises is carried out safely, using materials and equipment that meet the State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and accepted standards. If work performed to address a violation appears unsafe or uses substandard materials, tenants may have grounds to raise that concern with the local code enforcement office responsible for administering ch. 182. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what documentation to gather and what general options exist when corrective work does not appear to meet the safety standard described in this provision.
