Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-16
Surfacing of paved areas
Operative Text
Walks, driveways and parking spaces shall be provided with paved and durable surfacing so as to provide safe and easy access under normal use and weather conditions.
Section 142-16 of Ellenville's housing code requires that walks, driveways, and parking spaces be covered with a durable paved surface. The goal of this requirement is to ensure that these areas remain safely and easily accessible during ordinary use and typical weather conditions. The rule applies to the physical condition of the surfacing itself, not merely its initial installation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ellenville Code § 142-16, compliant property operators generally maintain paved surfaces on walks, driveways, and parking areas in a condition that holds up under normal weather and regular use. This typically means inspecting these surfaces periodically and repairing cracks, potholes, or deterioration that could compromise safe access. Keeping records of maintenance and repairs can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this surfacing standard.

Section 142-16 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when walks, driveways, or parking areas lack durable paved surfacing or have deteriorated to the point of being unsafe or difficult to navigate. Tenants who observe such conditions may report them to the Village of Ellenville's code enforcement office, which is generally responsible for inspecting and addressing violations of Chapter 142. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain what documentation to gather and what local complaint processes are available.
