North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 103-6
Conformity with other laws
Operative Text
Installations, alterations and repairs to residential premises, and materials, assemblies and equipment utilized in connection therewith, shall be reasonably safe to persons and property, and in conformity with applicable statutes of the State of New York and orders, rules and regulations issued by authority thereof. Conformity of such work, materials, assemblies or equipment with the applicable requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code shall be prima facie evidence that the same is reasonably safe to person and property.
North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-6 establishes that any installation, alteration, or repair work done on residential properties—along with the materials and equipment used—must be reasonably safe and must comply with applicable New York State laws and regulations. The provision also creates a legal shortcut: if the work and materials meet the requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, that compliance is treated as prima facie evidence that the work is reasonably safe. This means the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code serves as a practical benchmark for safety, though it is not necessarily the only way to satisfy the broader safety standard.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under ch. 103 § 103-6 generally ensure that all residential installation, alteration, and repair projects—along with any materials, assemblies, or equipment involved—conform to applicable New York State statutes and regulations. A common compliance practice is to verify that all work meets the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, since doing so provides prima facie evidence of reasonable safety under this provision. Maintaining documentation of code-compliant work, permits, and inspections is a practice consistent with meeting the standard this section establishes.
