Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 § 82-26 establishes the authority of the Building Inspector—and any representatives designated by the Board of Trustees—to enter and inspect dwellings, dwelling units, rooming units, and their surrounding premises.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Manorhaven Code § 82-26, compliant property operators generally maintain their dwellings, dwelling units, rooming units, and premises in a condition that would withstand scrutiny during a Building Inspector's visit. Operators typically cooperate with authorized inspectors or Board of Trustees representatives who arrive during reasonable business hours, and they understand that emergency access may occur outside those hours. Keeping records of maintenance and repairs can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with the standards addressed in Chapter 82.

Manorhaven Code § 82-26 gives the Building Inspector authority to inspect rental dwellings and rooming units to protect the health, safety, and welfare of occupants, which means tenants have a mechanism through which housing conditions can be officially evaluated. Tenants who believe their unit has conditions warranting inspection may contact the Manorhaven Building Department to request that the inspection authority under this section be exercised. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing codes can help residents understand what conditions fall within the scope of Chapter 82 and what options may be available to them.
