Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-22
Foundations, floors, walls, ceilings and roofs
Operative Text
Every foundation, floor, wall, ceiling and roof shall be reasonably weathertight and rodentproof, shall be capable of affording privacy and shall be kept in good repair.
Section 160-22 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances establishes that all structural elements of a dwelling—foundations, floors, walls, ceilings, and roofs—must be maintained in a condition that keeps out weather and rodents, provides occupants with privacy, and remains in good repair. The rule applies as an ongoing standard rather than a one-time requirement, meaning deterioration over time can bring a property out of compliance. It sets a baseline of habitability tied directly to the physical integrity of a building's core components.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 160-22 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances, compliant property operators routinely inspect foundations, floors, walls, ceilings, and roofs for gaps, cracks, or deterioration that could allow water intrusion, rodent entry, or loss of privacy between units. Maintenance records documenting repairs to these structural elements can demonstrate ongoing good-repair compliance. Addressing issues promptly—such as sealing penetrations, repairing damaged roofing materials, or reinforcing compromised flooring—reflects the standard of care this provision describes.

Section 160-22 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances gives occupants a basis to expect that their dwelling's foundation, floors, walls, ceilings, and roof are weathertight, rodentproof, privacy-preserving, and in good repair. If these conditions are not met, tenants may have grounds to report the deficiency to the Village of Endicott's code enforcement office, which can inspect and require corrective action. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help clarify what documentation to gather and what remedies may be available under this provision.
