The purpose of these inspections is to protect the health and safety of both occupants and the general public.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 140-3, operators of multiple-residence properties in Atlantic Beach are expected to maintain ongoing compliance with the New York State Fire Prevention and Building Code, Article 4, covering space and fire safety requirements for multiple dwellings. Compliant operators typically keep building systems, common areas, and individual units in a condition that would pass an unannounced inspection by the Village's Building Inspector. Maintaining documentation of repairs, fire safety equipment servicing, and code-related upgrades can support a showing of compliance during any such inspection.

Section 140-3 gives the Atlantic Beach Building Inspector the authority to inspect your dwelling, dwelling unit, or rooming unit to assess whether it meets New York State fire prevention and building safety standards. If you believe your residence has conditions that fall short of those standards, you may contact the Village's Building Department to request an inspection or report a concern. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can also help you understand what options are generally available when a multiple residence is not maintained in compliance with § 140-3.
