Under Kings Point Code ch. 117 § 117-5, compliant property operators ensure that all waste-handling methods and equipment meet approved sanitary standards. For nonresidential properties, operators keep hallways and stairways clear of accumulated garbage and debris at all times. When dumpsters are part of the waste management plan, operators verify that each unit is sanitized before placement on site, confirm it is leakproof, and enforce a closed-lid policy whenever the dumpster is not actively in use.
