Canton Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 183 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 183-50
Records
Operative Text
The agency shall keep records of all complaints received, inspections made and violations found regarding premises regulated by the housing standards. Records shall be kept in a manner and form as prescribed by local law and shall be available for public inspection.
Section 183-50 of Canton Village's housing code requires the designated agency to maintain organized records of housing-related complaints, inspections, and violations for all regulated premises. These records must follow the format and procedures set by local law. Importantly, the records are not confidential — they must be made available for anyone who wishes to inspect them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Canton Village Code § 183-50, the agency overseeing housing standards — not individual landlords — bears the recordkeeping obligation, but property owners and managers should be aware that complaints filed against their properties, any inspections conducted, and any violations found are part of the public record. Compliant operators generally maintain their own internal documentation of inspections and corrective actions, which can be useful context if a public record contains entries about their property. Knowing that these records are publicly accessible can inform how operators communicate with tenants and respond to agency inquiries.
