NEW YORK STATE OVERSIGHT PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT OF STATE TECHNICAL REPORT
CODES DIVISION
RECORD KEEPING
Part of the Department of State's role in the administration of the Uniform Code is to review the
administrative and enforcement programs of local, county and state governments to ensure that the mission
of the code is being carried out.
One of the primary ways that a government's program can be evaluated is by review of the records
on file. While record keeping is one of the most important activities, unfortunately, it is also one of the least
satisfactorily performed.
The reasons for keeping good records extend well beyond providing documentation to the state that
code activities are carried out. Reliance on officials and residents to remember what may have happened
years ago is not an acceptable means of documentation. A community may need to reconstruct its involve-
ment at a given location for information and protection for its constituents as well as to protect itself from
potential liability. Good record keeping also provides a code enforcement official with information which can
be vital for future activities which may occur with property, such as additions, alterations, or changes of use
or occupancy.
The most important features of any record keeping system are that:
1 . Records should be easily and readily retrieved , and ,
2. Records should contain enough information so that anyone unfamiliar with a given project or
property can understand what has taken place by examination of the written records on file.
Records should provide the reviewer with WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and HOW
It has been our experience that it is easier for a code enforcement official to deal with record keeping
if the system is set up as two specific functions, those activities which are active and those which are com-
pleted. The two systems should be located in two separate areas (file drawers, cabinets, etc.) so as not to
confuse one with another. Large departments with split functions may decide to have separate files in each
area such as Plumbing, Building , Complaints, and Fire Prevention,
ACTIVE ACTIVITIES :
Activities which are ongoing , such as construction , fire prevention violation citations and active
complaints should be kept apart from one another and filed in any way that is convenient for the code official
and the municipality.
One system which works quite well is a filing system according to property address. That way , an
inspector=on, his way out into the. field can •simpiy locate all activities relating to a given geographic area.
Names of owners and contractors do not work well as they may be involved with more that one
activity at a time. Occupancy name will not work.'welf as it may be necessary to ;keep separate records for
commercial and residential: Tax map ,or fire department number does not work well as it may be too time
consuming to locate various files, unless a cross reference system is used .
COMPLETED ACTIVITIES.
Once an activity ceases to continue , such as the completion of construction or the abatement of a
fire prevention violation or complaint, the file surrounding the activity should be placed in a repository of
completed activities. These files should be arranged in such a manner so' that the entire recorded history of
a specif ice property can be. exarnined by going to one location in the repositoi Again, some large depart-
ments with split- functiorfs may ,have separate permanent files in each area such':as Plumbing, Building ,
Complaints, and Fire Prevention.
A system which works quite well in this case is a filing system according to Tax Map Number. A
person retrieving a specific file has only to request that an interested party provide the number off the tax bill
or the information can be looked up quickly using plat maps or assessors logs. In some communities, fire
department numbers or street addresses may work as well.
Great care must be exerted to avoid using a system which may seem simple at first, but may be-
come a nightmare as the files begin to expand. Files established according to owner' s names may not work
well as owners may have more than one property or they may sell the property to others; Occupancy
names and post office box numbers may not work as names may change; and street addresses may not
work as they may not be accurate or may change, especially in rural locations. Permit and year numbering
systems may also lead to difficult retrieval in future years.
Filing systems established by contractor's names will not work because a contractor generally
carries on numerous activities in the community where he works, and filing according to the year of the
activity does not work because the total history of activities surrounding a particular property may only be
documented by examining each years files, which will become a very time consuming effort as the years go
by.
EXAMPLE :
Mr. Jones visits the local code enforcement official and says that he just bought a piece of property
in town and is interested in developing the property into 150 town houses. He wants to know what the
history of the property is in town records. He doesn't know anything about where the property is except that
it is on Sloan Road about 1 /2 mile north of the interstate. The CEO , who just started work a month ago asks
Mr Jones for the tax map number off of his tax bill (which he got when he bought the property) or to locate
the property on the plat maps in the office, which he does. Because the code files are all setup according to
Tax Map Number, the CEO simply goes to the files and withdraws the file pertaining to Mr Jones property (or
" calls up" the tax account number on the computer) .
Because all the information is in one file, Mr. Jones can then find out that:
1 . BUILDING PERMIT:
In June of 1984 , a permit was issued for the construction of a toxic waste processing building
on the property . All inspections were performed and documented with no uncorrected viola-
tions, and the building was issued a certificate of occupancy in September, 1985,
FILE CONTAINED :
1 . Application for the permit.
2. Plans and specifications stamped and sealed by a professional engineer.
3. A plan review performed by the code enforcement official.
4. A copy of an issued permit.
5. All inspection reports.
6. Copies of electrical inspections by the Underwriters.
7. Copies of certificates of approval for carpeting, sprinkler system and fire alarm system.
8. A copy of the certificate of occupancy.
2. BUILDING PERMIT:
A permit was issued in July, 1986, for an addition of an office and employee kitchen to the
building. All inspections were performed, however one of the inspections revealed that a fire
wall was required and not installed. The owner was cited for this violation. The owner filed an
appeal with the Regional Board of Review for a variance from the code. He was denied by the
board, and a fire wall was subsequently built and inspected. A certificate of occupancy was
issued in October, 1987,
FIRE PREVENTION INSPECTIONS
We find no suitable records of fire safety inspections on file because inspections are not docu-
mented.
It is recommended that a municipality compile an inventory of all multiple dwellings and commercial
occupancies and establish a schedule for each occupancy to be inspected.
It is further recommended that a written record of each public assembly inspection performed
contain the following information:
1 . Date of the inspection.
2. Location of occupancy.
3. Type of occupancy.
4. Property owner.
5. Name of the inspector.
6. Violations observed (or lack of) during the inspection.
7. Date of reinspection for abatement of violations (if any) .
8. Signature or initials of the inspector.
COMPLAINTS
The municipality is not keeping clear, well documented records of all complaints received and all
inspections in responce to the complaints are not being documented.
It is strongly recommended that written record of each complaint filed with the town contain the
following information :
1 . Date and nature of the complaint.
2. Date of the inspection.
3. Name of the inspector.
4. Type of occupancy.
5. Location of occupancy.
6. Property owner.
T Violations observed (or lack of) during the inspection.
8. Date of reinspection for abatement of violations (if any) .
9. Signature or initials of the inspector.
GENERAL RECORDS AND RECORD KEEPING PRACTICE
Records are not adequately produced, organized or maintained because files and records that were
reviewed failed to reflect or indicate the scope and nature of the activities undertaken. Activities are
not documented and existing records filed by the name of the property owner will not be retrievable
as ownership changes.
It is recommended that records pertaining to code enforcement activities be maintained in such a
way that all activities pertaining to a given building or property are adequately documented and
located so that they can be easily accessed. One such system incorporates the filing of all com-
pleted activities (building permits, fire reports, complaints and demolition permits) pertaining to a
given piece of property, in a central file, indexed by tax map number. This system provides a perma-
nent way of identifying a location (owners names change, as do addresses) as well as centrally com-
piling a complete history of that property.

FREQUENT CRITICISMS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
PROGRAMS FOR
ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT
OF
THE NEW YORK STATE UNIFORM FIRE PREVENTION AND BUILDING CODE
The following are selected excerpts from actual Department of State reviews of local code enforce-
ment programs.
BUILDING PERMITS
Reviews for code compliance are not performed and building permits are frequently issued on the
basis of incomplete and inaccurate information because detailed building plans are not required to
be submitted with most applications. Records do not clearly document specific projects because
files frequently lack sufficient information relative to the application and permit approval process.
Article 145 Section 7209, and Article 147 Section 7307, of the State Education Law is not being
complied with since plans and specifications submitted with permit applications frequently do not
bear the seal and signature of a New York State registered architect or licensed professional engi-
neer when required to be so.
It is recommended that detailed plans and specifications be required to be submitted to the town for
all new residential and commercial construction. The requirement for plans and specifications for
minor additions and alterations for which a permit is needed may be waived by the town. However, a
site plan and a description of the proposed work should be required in all cases.
It is recommended that no plan or specification required by Article 145, Section 7209 and Article 147,
Section 7307, of the State Education Law to bear the signature and seal of a registered architect or
licensed professional engineer and not being so, should be accepted by the town unless specifically
exempted by Articles 145 and 147.
It is strongly recommended that the written record of each inspection contain the following informa-
tion :
1 . Date of the inspection.
2. Location of project.
3. Property owner.
4. Name of the inspector.
5. Type or types of inspections performed.
6. Scope and extent of the inspection.
7. Signature or initials of the inspector.
It is recommended that a municipality keep actual copies of all issued certificates of occupancies
and certificates of compliance rather than a simple record of issuance. Building permit files
should include:
1 . Copy of the application
2. Plans and specifications
3. Original plan review
4. Inspection reports
5. Copies of all other related transmittals
6. Copy of certificate of occupancy and/or certificate of compliance

6. Copies of electrical inspections by the Underwriters.
7. Copies of certificates of approval for carpeting, wall coverings, ansul system.
8. A copy of Board of Review decision.
9. A copy of the certificate of occupancy.
3. FIRE PREVENTION INSPECTIONS:
Fire prevention inspections were performed in January, 1986, January 1987, and January 1988.
The only violations which were noted were for storage of combustibles in an exit and dis-
charged fire extinguishers. The violations were corrected as noted on reinspection reports
dated fifteen days after the violations were first noted.
FILE CONTAINED :
1 . All inspection and reinspection reports.
2. Copies of issued violation notices.
4. OTHER ACTIVITIES :
The fire chief of the local fire department notified the CEO on July 2, 1987 , that he had re-
sponded to a structure fire on the property the night before. The CEO inspected the property
and found the building totally collapsed. The building was subsequently razed and the entire
property regraded and seeded. DEC copied the CEO on correspondence to the property
owner explaining that the area was contaminated and not to be disturbed for 540 years.
FILE CONTAINED:
1 . Notice of the fire by the fire chief.
2. All inspection reports.
3. Copy of DEC correspondence to property owner.
After reviving Mr. Jones, the CEO advises him to contact his attorney for advice.

:� INTRODUCTION
Zoning review can be a very bureaucratic process . It involves handling a lot of paper - site
plans, special permits, subdivisions, appeals , building permits, certificates of compliance, and
enforcement actions. Properly managing this paperwork and keeping organized is often difficult,
even in the best of circumstances . But, it is essential to effective zoning administration and
enforcement.
Paperwork must be located where you can find it - and even more importantly, where the public
can find it. Organized paperwork will• help to avoid the unnecessary delays and confusion that
results when records cannot be located during the review process, or in the subsequent years
following the review.
The job can be made easier by
■ using the municipal clerk as a central repository for all records - as required by
law, and
■ by having local officials use checklists of actions taken, and filing checklists in
such a way that they can be retrieved at a later date.
WHAT ARE THE STATUTORY FILING REQUIREMENTS ?
The New York State statutes have specific filing requirements which must be followed precisely.
These requirements have been standardized by recent amendments to the planning and zoning
enabling legislation for towns and villages .
Site review - the decision of the board shall be immediately filed in the office of the
town (village) clerk within five business days after the decision is rendered (Town Law
§274-a (8), Village Law § 7-725 -a (8)) .
Special permit - the decision of the board shall be filed in the office of the town (village)
clerk within five business days after the date. such decision is rendered (Town Law §274-
b (6), Village Law §7-725 -b (6)).
Subdivision - within five business days from the date of the adoption of the resolution
approving the final plat, the chairman or other duly authorized member of the planning
board shall cause a copy of such resolution to be filed in the office of the town (village)
clerk (Town Law §276 (9), Village Law § 7-728 (9)) .
Appeals - the decision of the board of appeals on the appeal shall be filed in the office of
the town (village) clerk within five business days after the day such decision is rendered
(Town Law §267-a (9), Village Law § 7-712-a (9)).
1
WHAT CONSTITUTES FILING ?
Records must be placed under the control of the municipal clerk. If you are unsure whether your
records are under the control of the clerk, check with your municipal attorney.
WHY IS FILING SO IMPORTANT?
The statute of limitations for challenges to zoning actions generally runs 30 days from time of
filing. This means that if records are not properly filed, the municipality may remain vulnerable
to an Article 78 proceeding (challenge to an administrative act) until such time as the records are
properly filed. Under Article 78 , if a judge finds that the municipality violated the procedural
requirements (including failure to keep required records), he may require the municipality to
reverse its action.
HOW SHOULD RECORDS BE FILED ?
All records should be stamped with the date they are received by the municipal clerk. This will
establish the date which starts the 30 day statute of limitations for challenges to the action. File
records by the location of the property by tax parcel number, not the chronological date of
their receipt.
WHY FILE BY LOCATION?
Many times, it is extremely difficult for a person to remember the exact date that a zoning event
occurs. Often the exact date is not relevant to the concern in question. But a person almost
always knows, or can easily look up, the parcel location. Consider common reasons for people
to search zoning records :
■ a potential home buyer, or their attorney, researching the history of building permits
and variances on a property to be purchased
■ a planning board looking into past variances on a site plan before the board
■ a zoning enforcement officer verifying violations of previously approved plans
■ a town assessor looking into improvements on a property being reassessed
In all these cases, the location of the property is known. The possible dates of actions taken on
these properties is in all likelihood unknown, and impossible to determine without expending
enormous time and effort searching chronologically through planning board, zoning board and
building/zoning permit records . Where records may date back several decades, it is usually not
practical to even consider.
2 •
WHAT IS THE BEST MEANS OF IDENTIFYING PROPERTY
LOCATIONS ?
A simple method is to use the tax parcel identification system . This is a ready made filing
system that is infinitely expandable. Each new subdivision of land creates new subcategories of
numbers . It is a simple system and is readily available for use by public officials . By keeping all
records tagged with the tax parcel identification number, it is easy to route every record to its
correct file location.
IS MORE THAN ONE FILING SYSTEM NECESSARY?
No . Although some communities may wish to segregate planning board, zoning board and
building/zoning permit records, there is no need to . An integrated record system should be
considered for both simplicity and comprehensiveness. Simplicity is the key to most systems
working effectively.
HOW CAN RECORDS BE SEARCHED CHRONOLOGICALLY?
Review authorities should use procedural checklists as a routine for all project reviews (see
examples in appendix) . These checklists help to ( 1 ) keep the review authority aware of the
necessary steps in the review process, and (2) to provide a permanent record of the sequence and
timing of actions taken should the procedure be challenged at a later date. These checklists
should be tagged with both the tax parcel identification number, as well as a chronological
project log number for each project. Each authority (enforcement officer, board, etc.) carrying
out a review should have a separate project log number sequence (ex. 96- 1 , 96-2, 96-3 , etc .) .
This checklist should be retained by the review authority, possibly in the form of a notebook. It
will provide a permanent cross-referenced record of the location of the associated records in the
municipal clerk files.
SUMMARY
It is important to follow the statutory filing requirements of state law, and file all records with the
municipal clerk. File records by location using the tax parcel identification number, so that they
may be more easily retrieved in the years following . Always use checklists to keep track of
project reviews, and to provide a permanent record of where files are located in the municipal
clerk's office.
