Compliance required
Operative Text
No person shall occupy or let to another for occupancy any structure, for the purpose of living therein, which does not comply with the requirements set forth herein.
Section 166-30 of the Johnson City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances establishes that any structure used as a residence must meet the housing standards set out in Chapter 166. Neither the act of moving into a dwelling nor the act of renting it out to someone else is permitted when the structure falls short of those requirements. The rule applies to all parties involved in the occupancy of a living space, whether they are the one offering it or the one taking it.

Under § 166-30, a compliant property owner or manager ensures that any residential structure is brought into full conformance with Chapter 166 standards before it is offered or made available for occupancy. Operators generally conduct regular inspections and address code deficiencies proactively, since the provision prohibits letting a non-compliant structure to another person for living purposes. Maintaining documentation of repairs and inspections is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.
