North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 103-51
Records
Operative Text
The Village Board shall keep records of all complaints received, inspections made and violations found regarding premises regulated by the housing standards. Records shall be kept in a manner and form as prescribed by local law and shall be available for public inspection.
Section 103-51 of North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 requires the Village Board to maintain a documented record of every housing complaint it receives, every inspection it conducts, and every violation it identifies under the local housing standards. These records must follow the format and procedures set by local law. Importantly, the records are not kept confidential — they must be made available for anyone to inspect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 103-51, the Village Board — not individual landlords — bears the recordkeeping obligation, but property owners and managers should be aware that inspection reports and violation findings related to their premises become part of a publicly accessible file. Compliant operators generally stay informed about any open violations on record and address them promptly, knowing that the documented history of a property is visible to prospective tenants, buyers, and the public. Reviewing the public record periodically can help operators confirm that resolved violations are accurately reflected.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 103-51 gives tenants and the general public the right to inspect the Village Board's records of housing complaints, inspections, and violations for regulated premises. If a tenant has concerns about a property's history, they can request access to these public records through the Village Board as a starting point for understanding past enforcement activity. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how to interpret these records or how they might be relevant to a broader housing concern.
