Mineola, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 300 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 300-19
General requirements
Operative Text
A. Buildings and structures shall be structurally sound. Structural elements which conform to loading criteria specified in the Uniform Code and stress limitations specified in generally accepted standards shall be deemed structurally sound. B. Buildings and structures shall be maintained weather-resistant and in good condition.
Section 300-19 of Mineola's Code of Ordinances establishes two baseline physical standards for all buildings and structures: they must be structurally sound—meaning their load-bearing elements meet the criteria set by the Uniform Code and recognized engineering standards—and they must be kept weather-resistant and in good condition. These are ongoing maintenance obligations, not one-time construction requirements. A building that satisfies the Uniform Code's loading and stress criteria is presumed to meet the structural soundness standard under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 300-19, compliant property operators routinely inspect structural elements—such as foundations, framing, and load-bearing walls—to confirm they meet Uniform Code loading criteria and accepted stress standards. They also maintain roofing, siding, windows, and other envelope components to keep the building weather-resistant and in good condition on a continuous basis. Documenting inspections and any corrective work can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 300-19 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when a building's structure appears unsound or when the property is not being kept weather-resistant and in good condition. Tenants who observe such conditions may report them to the appropriate Mineola code enforcement authority, which can inspect and require corrective action. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help clarify what documentation to gather and what enforcement paths are available under this provision.
