Any building with more than 24 dwelling units must have at least one full-time resident superintendent, and buildings with more than 50 units must also employ additional maintenance personnel on a sliding scale tied to the total number of units. The largest buildings—those with 250 or more units—must add one maintenance worker for every 50 units or multiple thereof beyond that threshold.

Under ch. 192 § 192-13, compliant operators of multifamily buildings in Spring Valley generally ensure that a full-time resident superintendent is on-site for any building exceeding 24 units, and that the correct number of maintenance staff is employed based on the building's total unit count. Operators typically audit their staffing levels whenever a building's occupancy changes in ways that cross one of the thresholds defined in the ordinance—50, 100, 150, 200, or 250 units. Maintaining accurate employment records that document each staff member's role and residency status can help demonstrate compliance with the tiered requirements of § 192-13.

Section 192-13 of the Spring Valley Code of Ordinances gives tenants in multifamily buildings a basis to expect that their building is staffed with a resident superintendent and, depending on the building's size, one or more maintenance workers. If a building appears to be operating without the required staff, tenants may consider raising this as a potential code violation with the appropriate local housing or code enforcement authority in Spring Valley. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help residents understand what staffing levels § 192-13 requires for their specific building size and what options may be available when those standards are not met.
