Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 82-27
Access to dwellings
Operative Text
The owner, operator, agent or occupant of every dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises shall give personnel authorized in § 82-26 access to such dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit and premises for the purpose of such inspections at any reasonable time during business hours or at such other times as may be necessary in an emergency.
Section 82-27 of the Manorhaven Code of Ordinances establishes when and how authorized personnel may enter residential properties for inspection purposes. Access must be granted during reasonable business hours, or outside those hours if an emergency makes it necessary. The rule applies to owners, operators, agents, and occupants alike, covering dwellings, dwelling units, rooming units, and the surrounding premises.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 82-27, compliant property owners and operators generally ensure that authorized inspectors can access all covered units and premises during normal business hours without obstruction. Operators typically maintain clear communication with tenants and agents so that access can be coordinated promptly when an inspection is scheduled. Emergency access outside of business hours is also required when circumstances demand it, so operators commonly have protocols in place to respond to such situations.

Section 82-27 places the access obligation on all occupants as well as owners, meaning tenants are also required to allow entry to authorized personnel during reasonable business hours or in an emergency. Tenants who have questions about whether an inspector is properly authorized under § 82-26 may want to review that companion provision or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Understanding the scope of this provision can help tenants distinguish between lawful inspection access and other entry requests.
