Great Neck, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 321 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 321-59
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 and shall be available for public inspection.
Section 321-59 of Great Neck's Code of Ordinances requires the designated agency to maintain a documented record of every complaint it receives, every inspection it conducts, and every violation it finds at properties covered by the Housing Standards. These records are not kept internally for administrative use alone — they must be made available for anyone to inspect. This creates a layer of public accountability over how housing standards are enforced in the village.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 321-59, the agency overseeing Housing Standards compliance maintains a running log of complaints, inspections, and violations tied to regulated properties. Operators who manage properties in Great Neck should be aware that any complaint filed or violation recorded against their premises becomes part of a publicly accessible record. Compliant operators generally keep their own parallel documentation of inspections and corrective actions, which can serve as useful context alongside the agency's official records.

Section 321-59 gives members of the public — including tenants — the right to inspect the agency's records of complaints, inspections, and violations for properties regulated under Great Neck's Housing Standards. This means a tenant can request to review the documented history of complaints or violations associated with their building or unit. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help explain how to access these records and how they might be relevant to a housing concern.
