Owego Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-18
Records
Operative Text
The agency shall keep records of all complaints received, inspections made and violations found regarding premises regulated by the mobile home standards. Records shall be kept in a manner and form as prescribed by local law and shall be available for public inspection.
Section 142-18 of Owego Village's Code of Ordinances requires the designated agency to maintain records of every complaint received, inspection conducted, and violation found in connection with mobile home premises subject to the village's mobile home standards. These records must be kept in the format and manner established by local law. Importantly, the records are open to the public, meaning anyone may inspect them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 142-18, the agency overseeing mobile home standards—not individual landlords—bears the primary recordkeeping obligation, but operators of regulated mobile home premises should be aware that complaints, inspections, and violations tied to their properties become part of a publicly accessible file. Compliant operators generally cooperate with inspections and maintain their own internal documentation to ensure accuracy in the agency's records. Knowing that these records are open to public inspection underscores the importance of addressing violations promptly and thoroughly.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 142-18 gives members of the public the right to inspect the agency's records of complaints, inspections, and violations related to mobile home premises regulated under Owego Village's mobile home standards. Tenants who want to research the compliance history of a property or verify that a complaint they filed was properly recorded can request access to these records from the agency. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how to navigate a public-records request or how a documented violation history might be relevant to other remedies available under local law.
