Spring Valley, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 192 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 192-12
Superintendent to give full time to duties
Operative Text
The superintendent shall devote his full and undivided attention to providing the janitorial services herein required. This shall be his principal occupation.
Section 192-12 of Spring Valley, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 192 establishes that a building superintendent is required to treat the janitorial duties outlined in the chapter as their primary occupation, giving those responsibilities their complete and undivided attention. The rule is not merely about showing up — it sets a standard of full professional commitment to the role. Part-time or secondary treatment of the superintendent position is inconsistent with what this provision requires.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 192-12, compliant building operators in Spring Valley ensure that any superintendent they employ treats the position as a principal occupation rather than a side role. Operators generally document the superintendent's primary employment status and avoid arrangements where the superintendent's attention is divided among competing full-time obligations. Maintaining clear employment terms that reflect the full-time nature of the role helps demonstrate conformance with this chapter.

Section 192-12 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns if a building's superintendent appears to be treating the role as a secondary or part-time job rather than a principal occupation. Tenants who observe that janitorial services are being neglected because the superintendent's attention is divided may have grounds to file a complaint with the appropriate Spring Valley municipal authority. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help clarify what documentation or steps are generally available under Chapter 192.
