Section 168-46 of the Glen Cove Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to expect that their building will have proper, approved refuse containers and that common areas like hallways and stairways will remain free of garbage accumulation. If these conditions are not being met, tenants may consider reporting the issue to the appropriate Glen Cove municipal code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options are generally available when sanitation standards in a building are not being upheld.
