Monroe Village Code ch. 158 § 158-6 establishes a structured inspection program for rental units to verify compliance with local housing, building construction, and zoning rules. Annual inspections are required, and by submitting a rental permit or renewal application, property owners and occupants are considered to have consented to those inspections. Additional inspections may be triggered by a complaint or observed violation, with at least 48 hours' notice given, and emergency inspections may occur without that notice period.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Monroe Village Code ch. 158 § 158-6, compliant rental property operators take responsibility for scheduling both initial and follow-up inspections within 15 days of filing a permit or renewal application. Submitting that application is treated as consent to the annual inspection of the entire property, so operators generally ensure the property is accessible and ready for review. Landlords are also responsible for initiating any corrective action identified during inspections, and may request that inspections be scheduled outside normal business hours to accommodate tenants.

Monroe Village Code ch. 158 § 158-6 provides that inspections of your rental unit are conducted at least annually, and that additional inspections can be triggered when a Substandard Condition is reported or observed, with at least 48 hours' notice to you or the owner. Tenants have the ability to request that inspections be scheduled during non-business hours, and the Enforcement Officer is directed to give special consideration to such requests. If a Substandard Condition is found, the procedures of the relevant Village or state code chapters apply, and tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices can help explain what those procedures mean in practice.
