Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-24
Community structures
Operative Text
Community structures shall be structurally sound and appropriate for intended use and location.
Section 142-24 of Ellenville's Code of Ordinances establishes that any community structures within the jurisdiction must be both structurally sound and suitable for the purpose and location for which they are used. This rule sets a baseline standard of physical integrity and functional appropriateness for shared or communal buildings and facilities. It applies broadly, without distinguishing between residential or commercial contexts, as long as the structure qualifies as a 'community structure' under the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ellenville Code ch. 142 § 142-24, property owners and managers who maintain community structures are generally expected to keep those structures in sound physical condition and ensure they are fit for their intended use and location. Compliant operators typically conduct regular inspections, address structural deficiencies promptly, and verify that any community structure is being used in a manner consistent with its design and setting. Maintaining documentation of inspections and repairs can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this standard.

Section 142-24 of Ellenville's Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to raise concerns if a community structure on their property appears structurally unsound or is being used in a way that seems inappropriate for its design or location. Tenants who observe such conditions may consider reporting them to the relevant local code enforcement office, which can investigate whether the structure meets the required standard. Consulting a tenant-rights organization can help clarify what options are available when a community structure appears to fall short of this provision's requirements.
