Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 310 § 310-6, compliant property operators in Sleepy Hollow generally ensure that adequate sanitary containers and collection systems are in place for all tenants and that waste removal schedules are maintained. Operators of multifamily and commercial premises routinely monitor shared hallways and stairways to prevent the accumulation of garbage, refuse, or debris in those spaces. Keeping records of waste-management arrangements and conducting regular inspections of common areas are practices consistent with meeting this provision's requirements.

Section 310-6 of the Sleepy Hollow Code of Ordinances gives occupants of multifamily buildings a basis to expect that common hallways and stairways will be kept free of accumulated garbage, refuse, and debris. If sanitary conditions in shared spaces are not being maintained, tenants may document the conditions and raise the violation with local code enforcement or housing authorities in Sleepy Hollow. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options are generally available when a building's waste-management practices fall short of what this provision requires.
