Haverstraw Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 171 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 171-7
Enforcement
Operative Text
A. With the consent of the landlord, or otherwise as required or authorized by law, the Building Inspector or his designated agent shall have the authority to conduct inspections of rental units. Inspections of rental units shall be conducted to determine compliance with this article; Chapter 169 , Property Maintenance; Chapter 205 , Structures, Dangerous and Unsafe; Chapter 245 , Zoning; and other pertinent chapters of the Village Code. B. The Building Inspector will be responsible for arranging for the inspection of rental units and for initiating any other appropriate action under these regulations. Such officials shall give 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.
Section 171-7 of Haverstraw Village's Code of Ordinances establishes the Building Inspector as the primary enforcement authority for rental unit inspections. Inspections may be conducted with the landlord's consent or as otherwise authorized by law, and they cover compliance with multiple Village Code chapters, including property maintenance, dangerous structures, and zoning. When a tenant requests it, the Building Inspector is expected to consider scheduling inspections outside of normal business hours; otherwise, inspections default to standard business hours.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 171-7, a landlord's cooperation with the Building Inspector is central to the inspection process, as inspections may proceed with the landlord's consent or by legal authority. Compliant operators generally ensure their rental units meet the standards set out in the referenced Village Code chapters—including Chapter 169 on Property Maintenance and Chapter 245 on Zoning—so that inspections can proceed without issue. Keeping records of maintenance and being responsive to inspection scheduling requests are practices consistent with operating under this provision.

Section 171-7 gives tenants a meaningful procedural right: they may request that inspections under this provision be scheduled during nonbusiness hours, and the Building Inspector is required to give that request consideration. Tenants who believe their rental unit may not comply with Haverstraw Village's property maintenance, zoning, or related codes can contact the Building Inspector's office to initiate or inquire about an inspection. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Haverstraw Village or New York State housing law can help tenants understand the range of options available when enforcement under § 171-7 may be warranted.
