Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-61
Community structures
Operative Text
Community structures shall be structurally sound and appropriate for their intended use and location.
Section 122-61 of the Highland Falls Code of Ordinances establishes that any shared or communal structures within a residential property must be built and maintained in a condition that is structurally sound. Beyond mere structural integrity, these structures must also be suitable for the specific purpose they serve and appropriate for where they are situated. This rule applies broadly to community-use structures rather than individual dwelling units alone.

Under Highland Falls Code ch. 122 § 122-61, property owners and managers are generally expected to regularly inspect shared structures — such as common-area buildings, carports, gazebos, or similar amenities — to confirm they remain structurally sound. Compliant operators typically document inspections and address any deterioration or damage promptly to ensure each structure remains fit for its intended use and location. Keeping maintenance records can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
