Section 115-6 of Montour Falls Code ch. 115 establishes who is responsible for arranging dwelling-unit inspections and how those inspections are requested.

Once a request is received, the Code Enforcement Officer is expected to conduct the inspection within 10 business days, subject to access and other circumstances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 115-6, the primary responsibility for scheduling required inspections falls on the owner or their agent, who must coordinate directly with the Code Enforcement Officer. Compliant operators typically initiate contact proactively, submit written requests as directed, and ensure the unit is accessible within the 10-business-day window the Officer works within. Keeping records of submitted requests and any correspondence with the Code Enforcement Officer is a practice commonly associated with smooth compliance under this chapter.

Section 115-6 gives occupants of a dwelling unit an independent right to request an inspection by submitting a written request to the Code Enforcement Officer, or by another method the Officer directs. Once a request is made, the Code Enforcement Officer is generally expected to respond within 10 business days, access permitting. Tenants who believe an inspection is warranted may also reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on how this process works in practice.
