Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-72
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 in a manner and form as prescribed by the Board of Trustees and shall be available for public inspection.
Section 122-72 of Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 requires the designated housing agency to maintain organized records of every complaint it receives, every inspection it conducts, and every violation it finds related to regulated premises. These records must follow the format and procedures set by the Board of Trustees. Importantly, the records are open to the public, meaning anyone may review them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 122-72, the agency overseeing housing standards—not landlords directly—bears the recordkeeping obligation, but property owners and managers should be aware that inspection reports and violation findings tied to their properties are part of the public record. Compliant operators generally stay informed about any documented violations on their properties by periodically reviewing agency records. Knowing that this information is publicly accessible can inform how operators respond to and resolve any noted deficiencies.

Section 122-72 gives members of the public, including tenants, the right to inspect the agency's records of complaints, inspections, and violations for regulated premises in Highland Falls. Tenants who want to learn about the complaint or inspection history of a property can request to view these records directly from the housing agency. This documented history may be relevant when raising concerns with the agency, the Board of Trustees, or a tenant-rights organization about conditions at a regulated property.
