Section 93-68 of Waverly's Code of Ordinances (ch. 93) requires the Chief Housing Officer to maintain organized records of housing complaints, inspections, and violations for all regulated premises. These records must follow a format established by resolution, ordinance, or local law. Importantly, the records are designated as public documents, meaning any member of the public may inspect them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Waverly Code ch. 93 § 93-68, the official recordkeeping obligation falls on the Chief Housing Officer rather than on property owners directly, but landlords should be aware that complaints filed against their properties, inspection results, and any violations found are documented in a publicly accessible record. Compliant operators generally maintain their own internal logs of inspections and corrective actions, which can serve as useful reference if a public record entry is disputed. Knowing that these records are open to public inspection underscores the value of addressing housing standard issues promptly and thoroughly.
