Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers dealing with Department activities covered by ch. 245 § 245-75 should be aware that official records of those activities are maintained and are open to public inspection. Compliant operators generally keep their own copies of any Department correspondence or inspection reports, knowing that the official record exists and can be reviewed. Access to those records is subject to the Building Inspector's reasonable regulations, so inquiring about the applicable procedures before visiting is a standard practice.
