New Paltz Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 129-8

A. All registered rental properties shall be inspected by the Code Enforcement Official at least annually. B. Property owner or manager shall be provided a copy of the blank annual inspection report checklist at the time that the registration application is filed whose criteria shall be maintained by the Code Enforcement Official. Tenants of the subject rental property shall be entitled to a copy of the annual inspection report checklist upon request. C. The Code Enforcement Official shall have the right to inspect all properties which are required to be registered in accordance with this chapter except that the owner, property manager or owner's agent shall have the right to insist upon the procurement of a search warrant from a court of competent jurisdiction by the Code Enforcement Official in order to enable such inspection. The Code Enforcement Official shall be required to obtain a search warrant whenever the owner, property manager or owner's agent refuses to permit a warrantless inspection of the premises after having been advised that he or she has a constitutional right to refuse entry of such official without a search warrant. D. Property owners, managers, and tenants shall be responsible for providing access to all parts of the premises within their control to the Code Enforcement Official and/or Code Enforcement Assistant or their designees, acting in their official capacity under these or other provisions of the Code. E. If access is refused or cannot be obtained, the Village shall have the right to revoke or deny the rental property registration. F. After the completion of the inspection itself, the Code Enforcement Official shall cite the property owner with a notice to remedy within 30 days, and, if the violation is not remedied within 30 days, then the Code Enforcement Official shall issue a violation and appearance ticket for said violation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the Code Enforcement Official's judgment, the violation witnessed during the inspection poses an imminent threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the property occupants or the public, the Code Enforcement Official may issue a violation and appearance ticket immediately, without first issuing an order to remedy. G. If there are no code violations or violations of this chapter, the owner shall be issued a rental property registration. H. If there are code violations or violations of this chapter which are not or cannot be immediately remedied according to § 129-7D(2)(c) , the Code Enforcement Official shall not issue the rental property registration, and shall issue orders to remedy or appearance tickets for all such violations as set forth herein. I. In the event of the issuance of appearance tickets, a rental property registration shall not be issued to the owner until there has been a final disposition of the matters which are the basis for the appearance ticket or tickets before the Town Court and the conditions remedied or a determination made by the Court that no violation of code or this chapter had been committed.
