Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 332-16, operators of regulated properties should be aware that complaints filed against their premises, any inspections conducted, violations cited, and actions taken in response are all subject to recordkeeping requirements and are open to public view. Compliant property managers typically maintain their own parallel documentation of inspections and corrective actions to ensure accuracy in the official record. Because these records are publicly accessible, a property's compliance history is visible to prospective tenants and others.
