Sleepy Hollow Code ch. 310 § 310-4 requires property owners to keep all buildings and accessory structures in attractive condition and good repair at all times. Wood surfaces that are not naturally rot-resistant must be periodically coated with paint or another suitable preservative to prevent deterioration. For multifamily and commercial properties, interior floors, walls, ceilings, furnishings, and fixtures must be kept clean, safe, and sanitary.

Under Sleepy Hollow Code ch. 310 § 310-4, compliant property owners routinely inspect exterior wood surfaces and apply paint or a suitable preservative before deterioration sets in. Operators of multifamily buildings maintain interior surfaces, furnishings, and fixtures in a clean, safe, and sanitary state as an ongoing obligation rather than a one-time task. Keeping dated maintenance records and inspection logs is a common practice that helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
