Revere, Mass., Code of Bylaws ch 8 08 § 8.08.070
Posting of certificate (Revere Sanitary Fitness of Rental Units)
Operative Text
Upon issuance of a certificate of fitness, it shall be posted in a conspicuous place in a common area of the building in which the unit is located or a copy of it shall be given to any person occupying such unit. ( Prior revision § 9A-7 )
Under Revere, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 8 08 § 8.08.070, once a certificate of fitness is issued for a rental unit, the law requires that it be made visible to occupants — either by posting it prominently in a shared area of the building or by providing a copy directly to the person living in the unit. The rule ensures that tenants have access to documentation confirming the unit's fitness status. It applies at the point of issuance and does not allow landlords to simply retain the certificate without sharing it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8.08.070, compliant property operators in Revere generally ensure that a certificate of fitness is either posted in a conspicuous common area — such as a lobby or hallway — or that a physical copy is delivered directly to each occupant of the relevant unit upon issuance. Keeping a record of when and how the certificate was shared with tenants is a practice consistent with demonstrating compliance. Operators typically treat this as a routine step in the certificate issuance process rather than an optional follow-up.

Section 8.08.070 of the Revere Code of Bylaws gives occupants the right to have access to the certificate of fitness for their unit, either through a posted notice in a building common area or a copy provided directly to them. If a certificate has been issued but is not visible or has not been provided, tenants may wish to contact the relevant Revere municipal office to understand the status of the certificate and any applicable complaint process.
