Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-27
Supplied facilities, equipment and utilities
Operative Text
Every supplied facility, piece of equipment or utility which is required under this chapter shall be so constructed or installed that it will function safely and effectively and shall be maintained in satisfactory working condition.
Section 160-27 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances establishes that any facility, piece of equipment, or utility that a landlord is required to provide under Chapter 160 must be built or installed so that it works safely and effectively. Beyond initial installation, the rule also requires that these items be kept in satisfactory working condition on an ongoing basis. This means the obligation is not satisfied simply by providing the item at the outset — continued maintenance is part of the requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 160-27, compliant property operators generally ensure that every required facility, piece of equipment, and utility is properly installed from the start and subject to routine inspection and upkeep. Maintenance records, prompt repair of reported deficiencies, and periodic checks of mechanical systems are practices commonly associated with meeting this standard. Operators familiar with Chapter 160 typically review all required building systems — such as heating, plumbing, and electrical — to confirm they remain in satisfactory working condition throughout a tenancy.

Section 160-27 gives tenants a basis to expect that any facility, equipment, or utility their landlord is required to supply under Chapter 160 will not only work safely when installed but will continue to be maintained in satisfactory condition. If a required item falls into disrepair, tenants may document the condition in writing and notify the landlord, and may also consider contacting the Village of Endicott's code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help explain what options may be available when a landlord fails to meet the maintenance standard set out in § 160-27.
