Great Neck, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 321 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 321-58
Inspection
Operative Text
A. Inspectors shall be authorized and have the right, in the performance of their duties, to enter any premises during normal business hours and in emergencies, whenever necessary to protect the public interest. B. Owners, agents, operators and occupants shall be responsible for providing access to all parts of the premises within their control to authorized agency personnel acting in the performance of their duties.
Great Neck Code ch. 321 § 321-58 establishes that authorized inspectors may enter rental premises during normal business hours or in emergencies when the public interest requires it. The provision also places a corresponding obligation on owners, agents, operators, and occupants to allow those inspectors access to any part of the property under their control. Together, these two rules create a framework of inspection authority and cooperative access for the municipality's housing oversight functions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Great Neck Code ch. 321 § 321-58, compliant property owners and managers generally ensure that authorized agency personnel can access all areas of the premises they control during normal business hours without obstruction. Operators typically maintain clear records of who manages each part of a property so that access can be coordinated promptly when inspectors arrive. Agents acting on behalf of an owner are equally covered by this obligation, meaning property management companies should be prepared to facilitate entry on the owner's behalf.

Great Neck Code ch. 321 § 321-58 applies to occupants as well as owners, meaning tenants who control a portion of the premises share in the responsibility to provide access to authorized inspectors during normal business hours or in emergencies. Tenants who have questions about whether an inspector is properly authorized, or about the scope of an inspection, may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Great Neck housing regulations. If a tenant believes an inspection was conducted improperly or that their rights were not respected under § 321-58, raising the matter with the relevant municipal agency is one general path available.
