Maybrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 149 § 149-4 establishes broad maintenance standards for both the interiors and exteriors of all properties in Maybrook. Owners and tenants share responsibility for keeping buildings, accessory structures, and surrounding property areas clean, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. The rule also prohibits storing junked vehicles, deteriorated equipment, and certain household items outdoors where they are exposed to weather or public view, and requires that garbage be contained in properly sized, enclosed dumpster structures approved by the Building Inspector.

Under Maybrook Code ch. 149 § 149-4, property owners are generally expected to maintain interior surfaces, paved areas, driveways, and parking spaces in safe and clean condition, with parking areas properly marked and handicapped signage in place. Compliant operators typically ensure that dumpsters are appropriately sized, emptied regularly, and housed in an opaque enclosure approved by the Building Inspector, and that no junked vehicles, deteriorated appliances, or weather-exposed household items are left in exterior areas. Keeping records of routine maintenance, inspections, and any Building Inspector approvals can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Maybrook Code ch. 149 § 149-4 places maintenance obligations on both owners and tenants, meaning tenants who occupy a property also bear some responsibility for keeping their portion of the premises clean, sanitary, and free of litter and debris. Tenants who believe an owner is failing to meet the exterior or interior maintenance standards set out in this provision may consider documenting conditions with photographs and dates, then contacting the Maybrook Building Inspector's office, which is referenced in the provision as an approving authority. Tenant-rights organizations or a local housing attorney can help clarify which obligations fall on the owner versus the occupant under this provision.
