Under ch. 300 § 300-62, property owners and managers are generally expected to maintain all buildings, structures, and associated equipment in a condition that is free from structural hazards, fire risks, and health or life dangers. Compliant operators routinely inspect their properties, address deteriorating conditions promptly, and follow the demolition or remediation procedures outlined in Chapter 224 of the Mineola Municipal Code when a dangerous condition is identified. Keeping documentation of inspections and repairs is a practice commonly associated with ongoing compliance.
