Waverly, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 93 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 93-6
Compliance with statute
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.
Waverly, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 93 § 93-6 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 statutes and regulations. The provision also creates a legal shortcut: work that meets the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code is treated as presumptive evidence that the safety standard has been satisfied. This means the code sets both a general safety floor and a recognized benchmark for demonstrating compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
