Cleanliness and Retrieval of Prescription Medications and Government Identifications.
6 RCNY § 2-495
in effectEffective § 2-495 Cleanliness and Retrieval of Prescription Medications and Government Identifications.
(a) Cleanliness.
(1) A self-storage facility operator must designate an employee that must certify to the best of their knowledge each month that the common areas of the self-storage facility and unoccupied units remain free of indoor allergen hazards and that the self-storage facility operator has remediated or is in the process of remediating indoor allergen hazards that have arisen, including remediating underlying defects and using integrated pest management practices to eliminate pests.
(2) The requirements in this subdivision shall not be construed to require that the self-storage facility operator access occupied storage units or that remediation must be carried out directly by employees of the self-storage facility.
(b) Retrieval of Prescription Medications and Government Identifications. Irrespective of the status of a consumer’s account, including during the notice period in advance of any public or private sale of an occupant’s personal property, it is an unconscionable trade practice for a self-storage facility operator to refuse to permit occupants to request that the self-storage facility retrieve for them any prescription medication or governmental identification stored in a storage unit.
