LeRoy Village Code of Ordinances ch. 128 § 128-42 establishes baseline safety standards for fuel oil systems in buildings. It requires that fuel oil be handled through sealed, fixed equipment; that storage tanks include venting and be maintained without posing hazards to nearby property; that automatically operated boilers and furnaces have a remote shutoff accessible during emergencies; and that all tank filling, emptying, and venting occur through fixed piping with terminals positioned safely outside buildings. The rule is designed to reduce fire risk and protect both the served premises and surrounding properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating fuel oil systems in LeRoy Village should ensure their installations conform to every element of ch. 128 § 128-42. Compliant operators typically use liquidtight fixed equipment throughout, confirm that storage tanks are properly vented and free of hazards, verify that remote oil-flow shutoffs are functional on all automatically operated boilers and furnaces, and ensure that fill and vent pipe terminals are located outside the building at a safe distance from any openings. Routine inspections and maintenance records help demonstrate ongoing compliance with these requirements.

Tenants living in buildings with fuel oil heating systems have an interest in knowing that § 128-42 of the LeRoy Village Code of Ordinances sets enforceable safety standards for how that fuel is stored, conveyed, and controlled. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to violate these standards—such as improperly located piping terminals, missing tank venting, or a non-functional emergency shutoff—they may consider reporting concerns to the local code enforcement or building inspection office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand what options are generally available when safety-related code concerns arise.
