Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 112-14
Occupant responsibilities
Operative Text
Occupants of dwelling units shall be responsible for compliance with this chapter in regard to the following: A. Maintenance of that part of the premises which occupant occupies or controls in a clean, sanitary, neat and safe condition. B. Maintenance of all plumbing, cooking and refrigeration fixtures and appliances as well as other building equipment and storage facilities in that part of the premises which are occupied or controlled in a clean and sanitary condition and providing reasonable care in the operation and use thereof. C. Disposal of garbage and refuse into provided facilities in a clean and sanitary manner in accordance with the provisions of all Village laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations. D. Extermination of insects, rodents or other pests within his or her dwelling unit. E. Maintaining of yards, lawns and courts in a clean, sanitary and safe condition and free from infestation insofar as the occupant occupies or controls the yards, lawns and courts or any parts thereof. F. Keeping domestic animals and pets in an appropriate manner and under control. G. Elimination of all prohibited uses for that part of the premises which are occupied, controlled or has accessibility thereto.
Section 112-14 of Manorhaven's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 112, places a range of upkeep and conduct responsibilities directly on the people who live in or control a dwelling unit. These responsibilities cover cleanliness and safety of the occupied space, proper care of plumbing and appliances, lawful disposal of garbage, pest control within the unit, maintenance of yards and outdoor areas under the occupant's control, appropriate handling of pets, and avoidance of prohibited uses. The rule makes clear that compliance with the broader chapter is not solely the landlord's burden — occupants carry their own distinct obligations.

Property owners and managers operating under Manorhaven Code ch. 112 § 112-14 generally document, at move-in and throughout the tenancy, which portions of the premises each occupant occupies or controls, since the ordinance ties compliance duties to that scope of control. Compliant operators typically provide adequate garbage disposal facilities and communicate applicable Village rules about refuse, pest control, and prohibited uses so that occupants have the information needed to meet their own obligations. Keeping records of these communications and any notices of violation can help demonstrate that the owner's responsibilities under Chapter 112 are distinct from those assigned to occupants by § 112-14.

Under Manorhaven Code ch. 112 § 112-14, tenants hold direct legal responsibility for keeping their unit and any outdoor areas they control clean, safe, and free of pests, and for properly disposing of garbage in line with Village rules. Tenants who receive a notice of violation related to these occupant duties may wish to review exactly which part of the premises they occupy or control, since the ordinance limits each occupant's responsibility to that scope. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Nassau County housing codes can help clarify how § 112-14 interacts with any landlord obligations that may also apply.
