LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-9
Maximum occupancy
Operative Text
A. In dwelling units, the maximum number of occupants shall be limited to the number determined on the basis of the floor areas of habitable rooms, other than kitchens, as follows: one occupant per room having floor area of at least 80 but less than 120 square feet; two occupants per room having floor area of at least 120 but less than 180 square feet; and three occupants per room having floor area of 180 or more square feet. B. In lodging units, the maximum number of occupants shall be limited to the number determined on the same basis as for dwelling units. C. In buildings occupied as clubs, dormitories, sorority or fraternity houses and providing sleeping accommodations for more than five persons, the maximum number of occupants so accommodated in any habitable room shall be limited to the number determined on the basis of the floor area, in square feet, of the room divided by 50 square feet per occupant.
Section 128-9 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes maximum occupancy limits for residential spaces based on the floor area of habitable rooms, excluding kitchens. For dwelling and lodging units, a room must be at least 80 square feet to house one person, at least 120 square feet for two, and at least 180 square feet for three. For group living facilities such as clubs, dormitories, and fraternity or sorority houses with more than five sleeping occupants, the limit is calculated by dividing the room's square footage by 50.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental properties in LeRoy Village must ensure that occupancy assignments comply with the room-size thresholds set out in § 128-9. A compliant operator generally measures the floor area of each habitable room—excluding kitchens—and uses those measurements to determine the maximum number of residents permitted per room. Operators of dormitories, clubs, or Greek-letter housing with more than five sleeping occupants apply the separate 50-square-feet-per-occupant formula when assigning beds.

Section 128-9 establishes minimum space entitlements that affect how many people may lawfully occupy a room in a LeRoy Village residence. If a tenant believes a landlord is assigning or permitting more occupants than the floor-area formula allows, that concern can be raised with local code enforcement or housing officials. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can help residents understand how § 128-9 applies to their living situation and what complaint or defense options may be available.
