Thomaston, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 116-54
Records
Operative Text
The Village shall maintain records of all complaints received, inspections made and violations found regarding premises which are subject to this chapter.
Under Thomaston, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 § 116-54, the Village of Thomaston is required to keep an ongoing record of complaints it receives, inspections it conducts, and violations it finds for any rental premises covered by Chapter 116. This recordkeeping obligation applies to the Village itself, not to individual landlords or tenants. The provision ensures that a documented history of housing-related activity is preserved at the municipal level.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 116-54, the Village—not the property owner—bears the formal recordkeeping duty, but landlords operating properties subject to Chapter 116 should be aware that complaints, inspections, and violations tied to their premises are officially logged. Compliant operators generally keep their own parallel records of inspections and any correspondence with the Village, which can be useful for demonstrating a history of responsiveness. Knowing that the Village maintains this documentation can inform how property managers approach their interactions with local housing officials.

Section 116-54 establishes that the Village of Thomaston must maintain records of complaints, inspections, and violations for covered premises, meaning there is an official paper trail that tenants may be able to access. Tenants who have filed complaints or whose units have been inspected can generally request to review relevant public records through the Village to understand the documented history of their building. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how to request these records and how the documented history under Chapter 116 might be relevant to a housing matter.
