Property owners and managers operating under ch. 431 § 431-17 should be aware that records related to their properties—such as registrations filed, certificates issued, violations found, and orders issued—are part of the agency's official public record. Compliant operators generally keep their own copies of all filings and correspondence with the agency, since those same documents may be reviewed by the public. Knowing that inspection histories and violation records are publicly accessible is a practical reason to maintain properties in good standing.
