Under 105 Mass. Code Regs. 410.850, notices, orders, and related documents issued by the board of health in connection with a hearing become part of the official public record. Compliant property owners and managers generally stay aware that any orders or notices issued against a property are publicly accessible and may be reviewed by prospective tenants, buyers, or other interested parties. Maintaining awareness of what has been filed in the clerk's office or board of health office is a common practice among diligent operators.

Section 410.850 of 105 Mass. Code Regs. 410.000 establishes that hearing-related notices and orders from the board of health are public records, meaning tenants can generally request to review them at the city or town clerk's office or at the board of health office. This access can help tenants understand the history of code enforcement actions associated with a property. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how to locate and interpret these records, and how they may be relevant to housing conditions complaints or other proceedings.
