The Board of Trustees acknowledges that the safety of residents of multifamily
dwellings depends on regular inspections to assure building and fire code
compliance. Turnover of tenants in these structures may lead to faster deterioration
of the structure and mechanical systems, which, in some cases, may go undetected
even by the building owner. The Village of Maybrook, therefore, has determined
to enact this chapter to provide for more routine inspections of such dwellings
in the interest of public safety.
For the purpose of this chapter, the following words shall have the
meanings ascribed to them by this section:
DWELLING
Any building with two or more apartments for residential use.
DWELLING UNIT
An apartment within a dwelling, separated from other units.
Any person committing an offense against any provision of this chapter shall be punishable as provided for in §
1-14 of this Code, in addition to civil enforcement and injunctive relief.
