    1. General Inspection and Maintenance (to provide apartment maintenance inspection, repair service, or safety inspection):

      1. Resident apartments may be inspected periodically for safety or building maintenance purposes. Residents will be notified at least 24 hours prior to the apartment maintenance inspection with a posting in the building. The reason for the inspection and/or the specific property to be inspected will be listed on the notice if the inspection is particular to an apartment or room in the building.

      2. For general inspections, maintenance issues and contract violations will be addressed. Contents of wardrobe, desk or dresser drawers, cupboards and refrigerators etc., may be inspected during an apartment maintenance inspection.

      3. Illegal materials (e.g., drugs, alcohol and alcohol containers, emptied or filled will be removed) or items that pose an immediate danger to the health or safety of residents will be communicated to the management staff for removal if they are noticed in the course of an apartment maintenance inspection. Residents will receive written notification of this action. If the resident is legally authorized to possess the removed item, the item will be returned to the resident, but it will not be allowed in the apartment.

      4. When a pest problem has been reported to the maintenance department, a notice will be posted at least 24 hours prior to the spraying or treatment so the resident will be able to cover or remove any items.

    2. Emergencies

      1. There may be entry without notice in emergencies where imminent danger to life, safety, health, or property (water leaks) is reasonably feared by residential staff or their agents (e.g., ambulance, fire safety, public safety personnel).

    3. Other Entries

      1. To maintain an environment that facilitates positive living environment of other residents and to enforce policies of the building, quiet hours, prohibition of parties, suspicion of drug or alcohol use.

      2. If the residents permanently vacate the apartment.

  20. Entry Procedures

    Discretion will be used by any staff member entering an apartment, and, when entry is necessary, a note will be left. Resident apartments will not be entered without knocking, twice. A sufficient time lapse will be allowed to provide ample opportunity for the resident to open the door. If no response is received, the resident's apartment may be entered under the conditions listed above. Before entering an apartment with use of a key, residential staff/college officials will identify themselves. The resident's privacy with respect to other residents will be maintained when management personnel enter an apartment. In these cases, other residents will not be permitted to enter the apartment unless the resident is present and provides consent.

    The only authorized staff members or their agents that may enter an apartment are: (1) residential staff, (2) maintenance staff, (3) college officials on duty, and (4) administrative staff members for reasons of inspection and public safety.

  21. Search Warrants

    A MCC and/or EICC official may not consent to the search of a resident's apartment by the police or other government officials unless such official has a valid search warrant.

  22. No Landlord/Tenant Relationship; Residential Purposes Only

    Residents acknowledge that MCC is a not-for-profit institution operated exclusively for educational purposes and thereby understand and agree that housing accommodations provided under Contract do not establish a landlord-tenant relationship subject to Federal, State, or City rent stabilization laws or other regulations or laws associated with leases or the payment of rent. Residents further acknowledge that any occupancy of MCC Apartments is contingent upon maintaining an affiliation with MCC. Residents may not sublet, assign, or transfer this Contract or possession of a living space in the MCC Apartments and such living space may only be used for residential purposes and not for any type of commercial purpose.
