Under Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 136 § 136-2, property owners and managers should be aware that the chapter's obligations are not limited to occupied residential units — they extend to vacant lots, commercial buildings, storage facilities, garages, barns, and accessory structures as well.

Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 136 § 136-2 confirms that residential buildings — occupied or vacant — fall squarely within the chapter's coverage, which can be relevant when a tenant believes a property is not being maintained in compliance with local standards. Tenants who observe conditions that may violate ch. 136 generally have the option of reporting concerns to the appropriate Lake Grove municipal enforcement office or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with village code enforcement. Understanding that accessory structures and common areas on a property are also covered by this section may be useful when identifying the full extent of a landlord's maintenance obligations.
