Under § 205-9, rental property owners in Ossining should be prepared to cooperate with Code Enforcement personnel who seek to inspect their properties during the standard window of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Compliant operators typically maintain accessible records, ensure units are available for scheduled inspections, and coordinate directly with Code Enforcement when an alternative inspection time is needed. For unoccupied units, the owner's consent is the operative trigger for entry, so property managers generally have a clear role in facilitating access.
