Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 287 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 287-6
Inspections
Operative Text
The Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to make, or cause to be made, inspections to determine the condition of rental dwelling units to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to enter, upon consent of the owner of the unit if the unit is unoccupied, or upon consent of the occupant if the unit is occupied, any rental dwelling unit and the premises in which the same is located, at any reasonable time during the daylight hours, or at such other time as may be necessary in an emergency, without consent of the owner; agent and/or tenant for the purpose of performing his duties under this chapter.
Section 287-6 of Sloatsburg's Code of Ordinances authorizes the Code Enforcement Officer to inspect rental dwelling units in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare. For occupied units, the officer generally needs the occupant's consent to enter, and for unoccupied units, the owner's consent is required. An exception exists for emergencies, where entry may occur without consent at times beyond normal daylight hours.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 287-6, property owners and managers in Sloatsburg should be aware that the Code Enforcement Officer may request access to rental units during reasonable daylight hours. Compliant operators typically cooperate with scheduled inspection requests and ensure that unoccupied units are accessible upon the officer's request. Familiarity with this provision helps owners understand when consent is required and when emergency access may occur without it.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 287-6 gives occupants of rental dwelling units a meaningful role in the inspection process, as the Code Enforcement Officer generally must obtain a tenant's consent before entering an occupied unit during normal daylight hours. Tenants who believe an inspection was conducted improperly under this provision may consider raising the matter with Sloatsburg's code enforcement office or consulting a tenant-rights organization for guidance. Understanding this provision can help tenants recognize both their right to consent and the limited emergency exception that applies under Chapter 287.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
