Cambridge Code of Ordinances ch. 8.60 § 8.60.110
The Commissioner of Inspectional Services shall promulgate regulations consistent with the terms of this chapter and any applicable state laws and regulations.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Cambridge Code of Ordinances ch. 8.60 § 8.60.110 establishes that the Commissioner of Inspectional Services holds the authority to create and issue administrative regulations that carry out the requirements of Chapter 8.60. Any such regulations must align with both the chapter's own terms and any relevant state laws or regulations. This provision essentially delegates rule-making power to the Commissioner, meaning the detailed operational rules governing this area may be found in separately promulgated administrative guidance rather than solely in the ordinance text itself.

For Property Managers

Under Cambridge Code of Ordinances ch. 8.60 § 8.60.110, compliant operators generally stay informed not only of the ordinance's text but also of any administrative regulations the Commissioner of Inspectional Services has issued under this authority. Because the Commissioner can issue binding rules that fill in procedural and operational details, property managers typically review those regulations alongside the ordinance to understand the full scope of their obligations. Checking with the Cambridge Inspectional Services Department directly is a common way to obtain the current set of promulgated regulations.

For Tenants

Cambridge Code of Ordinances ch. 8.60 § 8.60.110 means that the rules affecting tenants under this chapter may extend beyond the ordinance itself to include administrative regulations issued by the Commissioner of Inspectional Services. Tenants who want a complete picture of their rights and protections under Chapter 8.60 can request copies of any promulgated regulations from the Inspectional Services Department or consult a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Cambridge housing rules. If a concern arises about whether a landlord's conduct complies with those regulations, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the relevant city department or seeking guidance from a tenant advocacy resource.
