East Rochester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 144 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 144-10
Additional criteria for granting of permits
Operative Text
A. On-site parking. The premises shall provide a minimum of one on-site parking space for the structure in which the rental dwelling units are to be located and one additional on-site parking space for each proposed rental dwelling unit therein. Such parking spaces shall be paved with asphalt, concrete, stone or other similar materials. The applicant for a rental dwelling unit permit may be excused from complying with the requirement to provide such minimum number of on-site parking spaces to the extent that compliance therewith shall not be possible due to the size, configuration, topography or structure coverage of the plot on which such building or structure is located. However, where partial compliance with such on-site parking requirements shall be possible, the applicant shall make such partial compliance with such on-site parking requirements as is possible, given the size, configuration, topography or structure coverage of the plot. B. No rental permit shall be issued for a rental dwelling unit consisting of one room only unless such room shall provide a minimum clear floor area of 100 square feet.
Section 144-10 of East Rochester's Code of Ordinances establishes two additional physical criteria that must be met before a rental dwelling unit permit can be granted. First, the property must include at least one paved on-site parking space for the building plus one additional paved space for each rental unit, though full compliance may be waived if the lot's size, shape, topography, or existing coverage makes it physically impossible—partial compliance is still required wherever feasible. Second, any rental unit consisting of a single room must contain a minimum of 100 square feet of clear floor area before a permit will be issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking a rental dwelling unit permit under § 144-10 generally ensure that their property provides the required number of paved on-site parking spaces—one for the structure and one per rental unit—using asphalt, concrete, stone, or comparable materials. Where lot constraints such as size, configuration, topography, or existing structure coverage prevent full compliance, compliant operators document those physical limitations and provide as many spaces as the lot allows, demonstrating partial compliance. Additionally, any single-room rental unit must be verified to meet the 100-square-foot minimum clear floor area requirement before a permit application is submitted.

Under § 144-10, prospective tenants can be aware that a landlord is required to have met specific parking and space standards as a condition of holding a valid rental dwelling unit permit. If a rental unit consists of only one room, that room must have at least 100 square feet of clear floor area, and the building should have the required paved parking spaces or a documented physical justification for any shortfall. Tenants who believe these permit conditions were not satisfied may consider contacting the East Rochester village code enforcement office, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or raising the issue as part of any relevant housing complaint process.
