Inspections
Operative Text
A. Inspections of rental units shall be conducted on an annual basis to determine compliance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. B. All inspections finding substandard conditions will be subject to the procedures set forth for violation of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. C. Inspections shall be conducted and work descriptions shall be compiled and issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. D. The Code Enforcement Officer shall be responsible for arranging for the inspection of rental units and for initiating any other appropriate action under these regulations. The Code Enforcement Officer will give special consideration to any request that inspections be conducted during nonbusiness hours for the convenience of the tenant(s). In the absence of such a request, the inspections will be conducted during normal business hours as defined by the Village business hours in force at the time.
Section 146-6 of Norwood, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 establishes a mandatory annual inspection program for rental units to assess compliance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Inspections are carried out by the Code Enforcement Officer, who also compiles and issues written descriptions of any work required. When an inspection uncovers substandard conditions, the violation procedures established under the State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code are triggered. Inspections are generally scheduled during normal Village business hours, though the Code Enforcement Officer may accommodate requests for nonbusiness-hour inspections at a tenant's convenience.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 146-6, rental property owners and managers should expect the Code Enforcement Officer to schedule annual inspections of their units and to document any conditions that fall short of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Compliant operators typically maintain their properties in a state of ongoing readiness for these inspections and respond promptly to any work descriptions or violation notices issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. Keeping records of maintenance, repairs, and prior inspection outcomes can help demonstrate a pattern of compliance with the annual inspection cycle established by this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 146-6 gives tenants in Norwood rental units the benefit of annual inspections conducted by the Code Enforcement Officer to verify that their homes meet New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code standards. Tenants have the explicit right under this provision to request that inspections be scheduled during nonbusiness hours for their convenience, and the Code Enforcement Officer is required to give that request special consideration. If substandard conditions are found, the formal violation procedures under the State code are set in motion; tenants who believe conditions in their unit have not been properly addressed may contact the Village's Code Enforcement Officer directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
