Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-13
Responsibility
Operative Text
The owner, person-in-charge and/or occupant of a structure shall maintain the exterior and interior of the structure 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 § 124-13, the duty to keep a structure's exterior and interior up to the standards set out in Article 124 falls on the owner, any person in charge, and the occupant — meaning more than one party can bear responsibility at the same time. Failing, neglecting, or refusing to meet any single standard listed in the article constitutes a violation of the chapter as a whole. The rule does not require willful intent; simple neglect is enough to trigger a violation finding.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-13 generally keep both the exterior and interior of their structures in continuous compliance with every standard enumerated in Article 124, since each standard is independently enforceable. Compliant operators typically conduct routine inspections, address maintenance deficiencies promptly, and document corrective actions to demonstrate ongoing adherence. Because § 124-13 places responsibility on the owner alongside any person in charge, operators who delegate day-to-day management should ensure those representatives are equally familiar with the chapter's requirements.

Under Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-13, occupants share a legal responsibility for maintaining the structure in compliance with Article 124's standards, but the provision also places that duty squarely on the owner and person in charge. Tenants who believe an owner or manager is failing to meet the chapter's interior or exterior standards may have grounds to raise that failure as a code-enforcement matter with the appropriate Huntington municipal authority. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help occupants understand which specific standards apply to their situation and what complaint or reporting options may be available.
