Lyndon — Title 15 Ch. 15.40 International Property Maintenance Code § 15.40.010
Adoption of International Property Maintenance Code
Operative Text
That a certain document, three copies of which are on file in the village hall of the Village of Lyndon, being marked and designated as the International Property Maintenance Code, 2015 edition, as published by the International Code Council be and hereby is adopted as the property maintenance code of the village for the control of buildings and structures as therein provided. Each and all of the regulations, provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of the International Property Maintenance Code are hereby referred to, adopted, and made a part hereof, as if fully set forth in this chapter verbatim, except the additions, insertions, deletions and changes, prescribed in section 15.40.020 of this chapter.
Section 15.40.010 of Lyndon's Title 15 formally incorporates the 2015 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), published by the International Code Council, as the village's official property maintenance standard. This means the full text of the IPMC — including its regulations, penalties, and conditions — carries the force of local law in Lyndon, with the exception of any local modifications specified in Section 15.40.020. Three reference copies of the adopted code are kept on file at Lyndon's village hall for public inspection.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 15.40.010, property owners and managers operating in Lyndon are expected to meet the standards set out in the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code as locally adopted. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the IPMC's requirements for structural integrity, sanitation, mechanical systems, and occupancy conditions, while also checking Section 15.40.020 for any Lyndon-specific additions or deletions. Copies of the adopted code are available at village hall and serve as the authoritative reference for day-to-day maintenance obligations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 15.40.010 means that tenants in Lyndon are entitled to housing that meets the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code's minimum standards, which cover conditions such as structural safety, heating, plumbing, and general habitability. When conditions appear to fall short of those standards, general enforcement paths include reporting concerns to the local village authority responsible for code enforcement or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with the IPMC as adopted under this chapter. Reviewing Section 15.40.020 alongside Section 15.40.010 can help clarify whether any local modifications affect a particular maintenance standard.
