Clarkson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 94 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 94-44
Fire and accident regulations
Operative Text
Fire and accident regulations shall be in accordance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code.
Section 94-44 of Clarkson's Code of Ordinances establishes that fire and accident regulations for rental properties must conform to the standards set by the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Rather than creating its own separate fire and accident rules, the Town of Clarkson adopts the state-level code as the governing standard. This means the state code's requirements for fire prevention, safety equipment, and accident prevention apply within Clarkson's jurisdiction.

Under Clarkson Code § 94-44, compliant property operators ensure that their buildings meet all applicable requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code with respect to fire prevention and accident safety. This typically involves maintaining smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire exits, and other safety systems in the condition and configuration the state code requires. Operators generally keep records of inspections and any remediation work performed to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Section 94-44 incorporates the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code into Clarkson's local ordinances, meaning tenants are entitled to housing that meets those state fire and accident safety standards. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to fall short of those standards—such as missing smoke detectors, blocked exits, or other fire hazards—general enforcement paths include reporting the concern to the local code enforcement or building department. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what the state code requires and what options may be available when conditions appear unsafe.
