Plain English — not legal advice.
For properties subject to ch. 108 § 108-55, landlords should be aware that complaints filed against their premises, inspections conducted, and any violations found are formally logged by the Department of Buildings. Compliant operators generally keep their own parallel records of inspections and correspondence, which can be compared against the city's official records when needed. Knowing that this documentation exists can inform how property managers respond to notices and track the status of any open matters.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 108-55 of Rye's Code of Ordinances means that complaints you file with the Department of Buildings, along with any resulting inspections and violations, are part of an official record. Tenants can generally request access to these records to verify whether prior complaints about a property have been logged or resolved. If you believe a violation has not been properly recorded or addressed, tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney can help you understand how to access or use those records.
