Johnson City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 166 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 166-2
Applicable laws
Operative Text
The provisions of the Building Code, New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, the Plumbing Code, the Fire Prevention Code, the Zoning Ordinance of the Village, the Multiple Residence Law of the State of New York, where applicable, the National Electrical Code and any other state, local law, ordinance or regulation issued by the proper authorities thereof shall be applicable for all installations, alterations and repairs to buildings and materials, assemblies and equipment utilized in connection therewith.
Section 166-2 of Johnson City's Code of Ordinances establishes that a broad set of overlapping legal frameworks governs construction, renovation, and repair work on buildings in the village. These include state and local building, fire, plumbing, electrical, and zoning standards, all of which apply simultaneously rather than in isolation. The provision ensures that no single code operates in a vacuum — compliance with one body of rules does not excuse non-compliance with another.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 166-2, property owners and managers overseeing any installation, alteration, or repair work are generally expected to identify and satisfy every applicable code — local, state, and national — that touches the scope of their project. Compliant operators typically consult the relevant codes (building, fire, plumbing, electrical, and zoning) before work begins and verify that contractors are aware of all overlapping requirements. Keeping documentation of code reviews and permits helps demonstrate that a project met the full range of standards referenced in this section.

Section 166-2 means that rental housing in Johnson City must meet a layered set of building, fire, plumbing, electrical, and zoning standards simultaneously. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to fall short of these standards — such as fire hazards, faulty wiring, or plumbing deficiencies — they may have grounds to raise those concerns with local code enforcement or housing authorities. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand which specific codes may apply to a given condition and what complaint or reporting paths are available under § 166-2's framework.
