Refuse containers
Operative Text
Every owner of a dwelling containing three or more dwelling units shall supply facilities or containers for the sanitary and safe storage and/or disposal of rubbish and garbage. In a single- or two-family dwelling it shall be the responsibility of the occupant to furnish such facilities or containers.
Milton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 132 § 132-8 establishes who is responsible for providing refuse containers based on the size of the dwelling. For buildings with three or more units, that responsibility falls on the property owner, while in single- or two-family homes the occupant bears the duty. The rule is designed to ensure that all residential properties have adequate, sanitary means for storing and disposing of rubbish and garbage.

Under Milton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 132 § 132-8, owners of multi-unit buildings with three or more dwelling units are expected to provide appropriate facilities or containers for the sanitary storage and disposal of rubbish and garbage. Compliant operators typically ensure that sufficient, properly maintained containers are available to all residents of the building. Owners of single- or two-family properties are not assigned this duty under the provision, as it rests with the occupant in those cases.

Milton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 132 § 132-8 gives tenants in buildings of three or more units the right to expect their landlord to supply refuse containers and storage facilities. If adequate facilities are not provided, tenants may consider documenting the deficiency and reaching out to the relevant Milton code enforcement authority to report a potential violation. Tenants in single- or two-family homes should be aware that under this provision, the responsibility for furnishing such containers generally falls on the occupant rather than the owner.
