Section 162-26 establishes that a property owner—not a tenant—is the party who may initiate this particular type of Building Inspector visit through a written demand. Tenants should be aware that an inspection conducted under this provision results in a report delivered to the owner, so tenants may wish to contact the Ossining Building Department directly to understand what inspection rights or complaint processes may be available to them independently. Tenant-rights organizations can help clarify how this provision interacts with other local protections.
