Section 63-1 of West Carthage Code ch. 63 establishes that the residential property where a tenant lives must be maintained in conformity with Chapter 63's standards, which may be relevant if a tenant observes conditions suggesting the property is not being properly kept up. Tenants who believe their residence falls short of these standards may consider documenting the conditions and reaching out to the Village of West Carthage's local code enforcement office to inquire about filing a complaint.
