Rochester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-7
Conformance with other state and local regulations required (Rochester NY Property Code)
Operative Text
Installations, alterations and repairs to buildings and materials, and related assemblies and equipment shall also be in conformity with the applicable provisions of the Rochester Building Code, the Fire Prevention Code and the Zoning Code of the City of Rochester, with the Multiple Residence Law of the State of New York, and with any other applicable state or local law, ordinance or regulation.
Rochester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-7 establishes that any installation, alteration, or repair work on a building must comply not only with the property maintenance rules in Chapter 90, but also with a broader set of overlapping codes and laws. These include the Rochester Building Code, the Fire Prevention Code, the Zoning Code, and New York State's Multiple Residence Law, among other applicable state and local regulations. The provision functions as a cross-compliance requirement, meaning that satisfying one code does not excuse a failure to satisfy another.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Rochester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 90 § 90-7, property owners and managers who undertake any installation, alteration, or repair work are generally expected to verify compliance across all relevant regulatory frameworks simultaneously—not just the immediate code governing the work. Compliant operators typically confirm that a project meets the Rochester Building Code, Fire Prevention Code, Zoning Code, and the New York State Multiple Residence Law before and during construction. Maintaining documentation of permits and inspections across each applicable code can help demonstrate that multi-layered compliance obligations were met.
