LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-58
Access to dwellings
Operative Text
A. The owner, operator, agent or occupant of every dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit or premises shall give personnel authorized in § 128-57 access to such dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit and premises, for the purpose of such inspections, at any reasonable time during business hours or at such other times as may be necessary in an emergency. B. The Housing Inspector and his designated representative shall be supplied with official identification and shall exhibit such identification when entering any dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises.
Section 128-58 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes a two-way framework for housing inspections: those who own, operate, or occupy a dwelling must allow authorized personnel to enter for inspection purposes during reasonable business hours or in emergencies, and in turn, the Housing Inspector and any designated representative must carry and show official identification before entering. The rule balances the municipality's interest in code compliance with a basic procedural protection for occupants. Neither side of this exchange is optional — access and identification are both required under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-58, owners, operators, and agents of any dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, or rooming unit in LeRoy Village are generally expected to cooperate with scheduled or emergency inspections by authorized Housing Inspector personnel during reasonable business hours. Compliant operators typically maintain clear communication channels so that inspection access can be arranged without obstruction. Operators may also note that the provision entitles them to verify the inspector's official identification before entry is granted.

Section 128-58 gives tenants in LeRoy Village a concrete procedural right: any Housing Inspector or designated representative entering a dwelling unit must present official identification before doing so. Tenants are generally entitled to refuse entry to anyone claiming to be an inspector who cannot produce that identification. If a tenant believes this provision has been violated — whether through unauthorized entry or failure to show credentials — options can include raising the issue with the LeRoy Village Housing Inspector's office or consulting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on next steps.
