LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-50
Maintenance of buildings and structures
Operative Text
A. Painting. All exterior wood surfaces of a structure that are not inherently resistant to decay and deterioration shall be periodically treated with a protective coating of paint or other suitable preservation. B. Weatherproofing. Exterior walls, roofs and all openings around doors, windows, chimneys and all other parts of the structure shall be maintained so as to keep water from entering the structure. C. Loose objects. Walls, roofs and all other parts of the structure shall be free from loose and unsecured objects and materials. Such objects shall be removed or repaired. D. Fire damage and catastrophe. (1) Whenever any dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, lodging house, lodging or accessory structure shall have been damaged by fire, wind, collision or impact or other cause to such extent as to make such dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming or lodging house, lodging or accessory structure unfit for human occupation, the owner of the affected property shall make such repair, replacement, alteration or modification as may be determined by the Housing Inspector to secure compliance with the standards of this chapter. (2) If the total damage is in excess of 20% of the value of the damaged structure prior to the catastrophe, all repair, replacement, alteration or modification shall be done only after issuance of a proper building permit and in compliance with Chapter 210 , Zoning, of the Code of the Village of LeRoy and the New York State Building Construction Code. (3) If it is the intent of the owner to demolish a damaged structure, he shall secure the necessary permit to do so from the Building Inspector and comply with all rules and regulations of the city and the Labor Department of the State of New York as applicable to demolition. (4) There shall be no abandonment of buildings damaged by fire, wind, collision or other catastrophe. Regardless of other provisions of this chapter, repair or replacement of fire damage or other catastrophe damage must be accomplished within six months following the date of the catastrophe, thereby restoring the building to habitable condition, or the building must be demolished. This provision applies also to existing structures.
Section 128-50 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes structural maintenance standards for buildings and structures. Exterior wood surfaces must be protected against decay, and walls, roofs, and openings must be kept watertight. All parts of a structure must be free of loose or unsecured materials, and any damage from fire, wind, or other catastrophe must be repaired or the structure demolished within six months of the event.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-50, compliant property owners routinely apply protective coatings to exterior wood, seal openings around doors, windows, and chimneys, and remove or secure any loose materials on walls and roofs. When a structure suffers catastrophic damage, owners work with the Housing Inspector to determine required repairs; if damage exceeds 20% of pre-catastrophe value, a building permit is required before work begins. The six-month deadline for restoring habitability or completing demolition is a firm timeline that applies to all structures, including existing ones.

Section 128-50 sets baseline conditions that rental housing must meet, including weatherproofing, protected exterior surfaces, and freedom from loose structural materials. If a rental unit has suffered fire or storm damage and has not been repaired or demolished within six months, that may constitute a code violation a tenant can raise with local authorities. Tenants who believe their building falls short of these standards may contact the LeRoy Village Housing Inspector or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
