Under ch. 93 § 93-40, operators of multiple dwellings in Waverly are generally expected to provide sanitary receptacles and designated storage areas that keep garbage and refuse out of shared corridors and stairways. Compliant property managers typically establish clear procedures for waste collection and ensure that common areas remain free of accumulated refuse. Maintaining these systems on a routine basis helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the ordinance's sanitary facilities requirement.

Section 93-40 of Waverly's Code of Ordinances gives residents a basis to expect that their building's common hallways and stairways will be kept free of stored garbage or refuse, and that the property will have adequate sanitary waste-handling facilities in place. If garbage is accumulating in shared spaces or sanitary facilities are lacking, tenants may consider documenting the conditions and raising the issue with local code enforcement or housing authorities. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options are generally available when a building appears to fall short of these standards.
