Greenwood Lake, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 116-6
Inspections
Operative Text
A. Inspections of rental units shall be conducted on an annual basis to determine compliance with Chapter 38 , Building Construction. B. All inspections finding substandard conditions will be subject to the procedures set forth for violation of Chapter 40 , Buildings, Unsafe, as amended. C. Inspections shall be conducted and work descriptions shall be compiled and issued by the Building Inspector. D. The Building Inspector will be responsible for arranging for the inspection of rental units and for initiating any other appropriate action under these regulations. The Building Inspector will give special consideration to any request that inspections be conducted during nonbusiness hours for the convenience of the tenant(s). In the absence of such a request, the inspections will be conducted during normal business hours as defined by the town business hours in force at the time. E. The annual inspection fee is $25 for each unit. If the unit fails, there shall be no fee for the first reinspection. There shall be a fee of $25 for each subsequent reinspection.
Section 116-6 of Greenwood Lake's Code of Ordinances requires that all rental units be inspected once a year by the Building Inspector to check compliance with the village's building construction standards. If a unit is found to have substandard conditions, the violation procedures under Chapter 40 (Buildings, Unsafe) are triggered. The annual inspection carries a $25 fee per unit; if a unit fails, the first reinspection is free, but each subsequent reinspection costs an additional $25.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 116-6, compliant rental property operators ensure their units are available for the Building Inspector's annual inspection and pay the $25-per-unit inspection fee. If a unit fails inspection, operators generally address the cited deficiencies promptly to take advantage of the free first reinspection and avoid additional $25 fees for further reinspections. Operators who need inspections scheduled outside normal town business hours can make that request to the Building Inspector, who is directed to give it special consideration.

Section 116-6 gives tenants a direct avenue to request that the Building Inspector schedule their unit's annual inspection during nonbusiness hours, which the Inspector is required to consider. If an inspection reveals substandard conditions, the violation procedures under Chapter 40 are set in motion, providing a formal record that tenants may reference when addressing habitability concerns. Tenants who believe their unit has not been inspected or that identified problems have not been resolved can contact the Greenwood Lake Building Inspector's office or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
