Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 187 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 187-8
Display of certificate
Operative Text
Each unit shall prominently display in the public area of the said structure the certificate of occupancy required by this article.
Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 187 § 187-8 requires that every rental unit's certificate of occupancy be posted in a visible, publicly accessible area of the building. The rule is designed to ensure that occupants and visitors can readily confirm that the structure has been officially approved for habitation. This is a display requirement, not merely a possession requirement — the certificate must be out in the open, not simply kept on file.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 187 § 187-8, compliant property operators typically post the certificate of occupancy in a common area — such as a lobby, hallway, or entryway — where it can be seen without special access. Keeping the certificate locked in an office or stored in a file drawer would not satisfy the 'prominent display' standard the ordinance sets. Operators generally check periodically that the posted certificate remains legible, undamaged, and in place.

Section 187-8 of Red Creek's Code of Ordinances gives occupants a basis to expect a visible certificate of occupancy in the building's public areas. If the certificate is absent or hidden from view, tenants may raise that as a potential code violation with the appropriate local code enforcement or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Red Creek's municipal code can help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord does not comply with display requirements.
