LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-28
Storm drainage
Operative Text
A. Roofs and paved areas, including yards and courts, shall be drained. Storm drainage shall be conveyed to an adequate and approved system of stormwater disposal where available. Storm drains shall be discharged in such manner that water will not flow onto sidewalks. B. Where a drainage system may be subject to backwater, suitable provision shall be made to prevent its overflow into the building. C. Leaders and gutters, if used, shall be constructed of noncombustible material, except that wood leaders and gutters may be used for buildings not more than three stories high.
Section 128-28 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes standards for how roofs and paved surfaces must handle stormwater. Drainage must be directed to an approved disposal system when one is available, and water must not be allowed to flow onto sidewalks. Where backwater risk exists, buildings must have safeguards to prevent overflow into the structure, and any leaders or gutters used must generally be made of noncombustible materials, with a limited exception for wood in shorter buildings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-28, compliant property operators ensure that all roof and paved-surface drainage is connected to an approved stormwater disposal system and that discharge points are positioned so water does not run onto sidewalks. Operators also inspect drainage systems for backwater vulnerability and install appropriate preventive measures, such as backwater valves, to protect the building interior. When installing or replacing leaders and gutters, operators use noncombustible materials unless the building qualifies for the three-story-or-fewer exception that permits wood.

Section 128-28 sets baseline drainage standards that apply to residential properties in LeRoy Village, and tenants who observe stormwater pooling near entrances, water backing up into a building, or deteriorating gutters may have grounds to raise a housing-code concern. Tenants can document conditions and report potential violations to the local code enforcement or building department, which has authority over compliance with ch. 128. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord may not be meeting these drainage requirements.
