Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 748-6 of the Canandaigua Code requires that all rental dwelling units be made available for inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer on a schedule the Officer determines. Compliant operators generally maintain their units in code-conforming condition at all times so that scheduled inspections do not reveal violations. Keeping records of maintenance, repairs, and prior inspection results is a practice commonly associated with smooth compliance under this type of mandatory inspection program.

Ch. 748 § 748-6 of the Canandaigua Code establishes that every rental unit must be inspected by the Code Enforcement Officer, which means tenants have a basis to expect that their unit is subject to official oversight. If a tenant believes their unit has not been inspected or that conditions exist that would fail inspection, they may contact the Canandaigua Code Enforcement Office to inquire about the inspection schedule or report concerns. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can also help renters understand how this mandatory inspection program interacts with other housing code protections.
