North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 103-25
General plumbing requirements
Operative Text
A. Plumbing systems shall be maintained in sanitary and serviceable condition. B. Plumbing systems shall be maintained so as not to weaken structural members or cause damage of deterioration to any part of the building through fixture usage.
North Collins Code ch. 103 § 103-25 establishes two baseline standards for plumbing in residential buildings: the plumbing system must be kept in a sanitary and functional state, and it must not be allowed to deteriorate in a way that weakens the building's structural components. These requirements apply on an ongoing basis, meaning the condition of the plumbing is expected to be maintained continuously rather than only at the time of installation. Both the sanitary condition of the system and its structural impact on the building are treated as distinct, enforceable obligations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under North Collins Code ch. 103 § 103-25, compliant property operators routinely inspect plumbing systems for leaks, corrosion, blockages, and other conditions that could compromise sanitation or structural integrity. Operators generally document maintenance activities and address deficiencies promptly to demonstrate that systems are kept in serviceable condition. Attention to how fixture usage affects surrounding structural members—such as joists, subfloors, and wall framing—is part of ongoing property management under this provision.

North Collins Code ch. 103 § 103-25 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when plumbing is unsanitary, non-functional, or causing damage to the building's structure. Tenants who observe such conditions may report them to the local code enforcement or housing authority, document the issues with photographs and written records, or raise the violation as a defense in relevant housing proceedings. Consulting a tenant-rights organization can help clarify what remedies or complaint processes may be available under this provision.
