Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 245-106
Fixtures and equipment
Operative Text
Occupants shall not damage or impair the operation or functioning of the building's facilities, equipment and utilities. In addition, the equipment and fixtures furnished by the occupant shall be properly installed and maintained in good working condition.
Section 245-106 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes a two-part standard for building fixtures and equipment. First, occupants are prohibited from damaging or interfering with the operation of facilities, equipment, and utilities that are part of the building. Second, any equipment or fixtures that an occupant personally installs must be properly set up and kept in good working order throughout their occupancy.

Under Sleepy Hollow Code ch. 245 § 245-106, compliant property operators typically document the condition of building facilities, equipment, and utilities at move-in and move-out to establish a baseline record. If an occupant's actions damage or impair shared building systems, or if occupant-installed fixtures are found to be improperly maintained, operators generally address the issue through written notice and, where applicable, pursue remedies available under the lease and local code. Maintaining clear records of any occupant-installed equipment—including whether proper installation was verified—supports consistent enforcement of this provision.

Section 245-106 of the Sleepy Hollow Code of Ordinances places responsibilities on occupants not to damage building systems and to properly maintain any fixtures or equipment they install themselves. Tenants who believe a landlord is wrongly attributing damage to them—or who have concerns about how this provision is being applied—may consider raising the matter in writing with their landlord, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or reviewing available remedies through local housing authorities. Keeping documentation of the condition of any self-installed equipment, as well as the overall state of building facilities, can be relevant if a dispute arises under this provision.
