Glens Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 § 128-19
Violations of State Uniform fire Prevention and Building Code
Operative Text
Each violation of the State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, as amended from time to time, in those premises governed by this chapter, shall constitute a separate violation of this chapter.
Under Glens Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 § 128-19, every individual instance of a State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code violation found within a rental property covered by Chapter 128 is treated as its own, independent violation of the local ordinance. This means that multiple code deficiencies in the same property can each be counted and addressed separately, rather than being grouped together as a single infraction. The provision effectively multiplies the regulatory exposure for properties with more than one code deficiency.
