Under Waverly Code § 93-59, operators of rental properties are generally expected to regularly inspect community structures—such as shared stairways, common-area buildings, or communal facilities—to confirm they remain structurally sound and appropriate for their designated use and location. Compliant operators typically document inspections, address deterioration promptly, and ensure that any structural modifications remain consistent with the structure's intended purpose. Keeping maintenance records can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
