Under Maybrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 149 § 149-6, owners of commercial and multifamily buildings carry the primary compliance burden for the property as a whole, including ensuring structures do not become unoccupied hazards. Compliant operators typically establish a graffiti-removal protocol that meets the five-day restoration deadline and maintain records of remediation efforts. Lease agreements and property management policies commonly reinforce tenant obligations—such as keeping exits clear, proper refuse disposal, pest control within occupied units, and not blocking dumpster access—so that all parties understand their respective duties under this chapter.
