Operative Text
The owner, person-in-charge and/or occupant of property shall maintain the exterior areas of the property in compliance with the standards established in this article. The failure, neglect or refusal to comply with any one of the standards in this article shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
Under Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-09, the rule places responsibility for maintaining a property's exterior areas on the owner, any person in charge, and/or the occupant. Each of these parties is independently obligated to meet the exterior maintenance standards set out in the article. Failing, neglecting, or refusing to meet even a single one of those standards constitutes a violation of the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 124 § 124-09, property owners and managers in Huntington are generally expected to keep all exterior areas of their properties in continuous compliance with the standards outlined in the article. Compliant operators typically conduct regular inspections of exterior conditions—such as landscaping, structures, and common areas—to identify and address any deficiencies before they rise to the level of a violation. Because the provision extends responsibility to any 'person-in-charge,' property managers acting on behalf of an owner may also bear direct accountability for exterior maintenance failures.

Under Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-09, occupants are listed alongside owners and persons-in-charge as parties responsible for exterior property maintenance, which means tenants may share in that obligation depending on the circumstances. Tenants who believe an owner or manager is failing to maintain exterior areas in compliance with the article's standards may have grounds to raise that failure as a concern with the relevant local code enforcement authority. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Huntington's local ordinances can help clarify how shared responsibility under § 124-09 applies to a particular rental arrangement.
