Maybrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 114 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 114-4
Records management
Operative Text
A. The Building Inspector shall keep records of all complaints received, inspections made and violations found regarding premises regulated by this chapter and other housing standards. B. Records shall be kept in a manner and form as prescribed by law and shall be available for public inspection.
Section 114-4 of Maybrook's housing code requires the Building Inspector to maintain records of all housing-related complaints, inspections, and violations for regulated premises. These records must be kept in a legally prescribed format and are open to the public for review. The provision establishes both a recordkeeping duty and a transparency requirement for the local enforcement office.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Maybrook Code § 114-4, the Building Inspector—not landlords directly—bears the recordkeeping obligation, but property owners and managers should be aware that inspection findings and violation notices become part of a publicly accessible official record. Compliant operators generally maintain their own copies of any inspection reports or violation notices they receive, since those same records are logged by the Building Inspector. Knowing that this public record exists can inform how operators document their own compliance efforts.

Section 114-4 gives members of the public, including tenants, the right to inspect the Building Inspector's records of complaints, inspections, and violations for regulated properties in Maybrook. A tenant who wants to research the complaint or violation history of a property can request access to those records through the Building Inspector's office. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how to make such a records request and how the information found there might be relevant to a housing concern.
