Operators of rental properties in Watervliet should ensure that all three required documents—the compliance certificate, the residential occupancy permit, and the multiple dwelling occupancy permit—are posted in a shared, publicly accessible area of the building as outlined in § 176-10. Compliant operators typically frame or mount these documents in lobbies, hallways, or other common spaces where they remain visible and undamaged. Keeping these postings current and intact is a routine part of maintaining a property in good standing under Chapter 176.

Section 176-10 of Watervliet's Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to expect that their building's required permits and compliance certificate will be displayed in a common area of the structure. If those documents are absent or not visible, tenants may wish to contact the appropriate Watervliet municipal office to inquire about the property's compliance status. Local tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options are available when a landlord appears to be out of compliance with posting requirements.
