Brightwaters, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 107-11
Inspections
Operative Text
The Village Building Inspector is authorized to make or cause to be made inspections to determine the condition of dwellings and to safeguard the health, safety, morals and welfare of the public. The Building Inspector or his designated representative is authorized to enter, upon the consent of the owner, tenant or occupant of any dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit or premises, at any reasonable time during daylight hours, or at such other time as may be necessary in an emergency without consent of the owner, for the purpose of performing his duties under this chapter.
Section 107-11 of the Brightwaters Code of Ordinances authorizes the Village Building Inspector to inspect residential properties—including dwellings, dwelling units, rooming houses, and rooming units—to assess their condition and protect public health, safety, morals, and welfare. Under normal circumstances, entry requires the consent of the owner, tenant, or occupant and must occur at a reasonable time during daylight hours. In genuine emergencies, the Building Inspector may enter without consent at any hour necessary to carry out duties under Chapter 107.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Brightwaters Code § 107-11, a compliant property owner generally cooperates with scheduled inspection requests from the Village Building Inspector during reasonable daylight hours. Operators typically maintain records of inspection visits and any corrective actions taken in response to findings. Being aware that emergency entry without consent is permitted under this provision helps owners understand the full scope of the Inspector's authority under Chapter 107.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 107-11 gives the Village Building Inspector authority to inspect your dwelling, but routine entry requires your consent and must happen at a reasonable time during daylight hours. As a tenant, you have a role in that consent process for non-emergency inspections under Chapter 107, and understanding this right can be relevant if an inspection is conducted in a manner that appears inconsistent with these requirements. Tenants who have questions about how an inspection was handled may wish to contact the Village of Brightwaters directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York housing law.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
