Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-4
Scope
Operative Text
This chapter shall apply to premises within the Village as follows: A. Lots, plots or parcels of land which are vacant or upon which buildings used for dwellings, mixed occupancy, commercial, industrial or storage uses, whether occupied or vacant, are located. B. Residential buildings, including private dwellings and multiple dwellings, unless specifically excluded. C. Buildings of mixed occupancy, occupied in whole or in part. D. Commercial, industrial and storage buildings. E. Vacant residential, mixed occupancy, commercial, industrial and storage buildings. F. Residential, mixed occupancy, commercial, industrial and storage buildings which are under construction or demolition, including buildings not completed, to the extent that a nuisance or practice exists or is being carried out which is a disturbance to the public health, safety or welfare. G. Accessory structures, accessory to dwellings or commercial, industrial or vacant buildings.
Section 160-4 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances establishes the geographic and property-type reach of Chapter 160, the village's property maintenance and housing standards chapter. The provision covers virtually every category of land and structure within the Village of Endicott — from vacant lots to occupied residences, commercial and industrial buildings, mixed-use properties, structures under construction or demolition, and accessory structures. A building does not need to be occupied for the chapter's requirements to apply; even vacant and partially completed structures fall within its scope. The only carve-outs are those properties 'specifically excluded' elsewhere in the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating anywhere within the Village of Endicott should be aware that Section 160-4 extends Chapter 160's obligations broadly — covering not just occupied rental units but also vacant lots, storage buildings, accessory structures, and properties mid-construction or mid-demolition. A compliant operator generally ensures that all structures on a parcel, including garages, sheds, and outbuildings accessory to a dwelling, are maintained in accordance with the chapter's standards. Operators of mixed-use or commercial properties are similarly subject to the chapter, so maintenance practices typically account for every building type on a given site.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 160-4 confirms that Chapter 160's protections apply to the full range of residential properties in Endicott — private dwellings, multiple dwellings, and mixed-occupancy buildings — whether or not they are currently occupied. Tenants who believe a landlord is failing to meet the chapter's maintenance standards may raise the applicability of this scope provision when documenting a complaint, since it makes clear that their type of housing is covered. General enforcement paths can include filing a complaint with the village's code enforcement office or consulting a local tenant-rights organization to understand how Chapter 160 applies to a specific property type.
