Groton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-16
Proceedings to be public record
Operative Text
A summary of the proceedings of such hearing, together with a copy of every notice and order related thereto, shall be entered as a matter of public record in the office of the enforcement officer.
Under Groton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 § 127-16, hearing proceedings related to housing enforcement matters do not remain internal administrative documents — a summary of those proceedings, along with copies of every associated notice and order, must be entered into the public record and kept on file with the enforcement officer. This requirement ensures that the official record of enforcement actions is accessible rather than hidden from view. The rule applies to all such hearings covered by chapter 127.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 127 § 127-16, compliant operators generally ensure that any notices or orders they issue or receive in connection with a hearing are properly submitted to the enforcement officer's office for entry into the public record. Maintaining organized copies of all hearing-related documents supports this process and helps demonstrate that the record is complete. Property managers should be aware that these records are publicly accessible once filed.

Section 127-16 of Groton's Code of Ordinances establishes that summaries of enforcement hearings, along with all related notices and orders, are public records held in the enforcement officer's office. This means tenants generally have the ability to request and review records of enforcement actions connected to their housing. Tenants who want to understand the history of a property's enforcement proceedings may consider contacting the enforcement officer's office directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on accessing those records.
