Canton Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 183 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 183-7
Conformance with state standards
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 shall be 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 Building Construction Code shall be prima facie evidence that the same is reasonably safe to person and property.
Section 183-7 of Canton Village's Code of Ordinances requires that any installation, alteration, or repair work done on residential property — 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 establishes that meeting the New York State Building Construction Code serves as prima facie evidence that the work is reasonably safe. This creates a legal presumption of safety when state code standards are satisfied, though it does not preclude other means of demonstrating compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 183-7, property owners and managers overseeing residential installations, alterations, or repairs generally ensure that all work and associated materials conform to applicable New York State statutes and the New York State Building Construction Code. Maintaining documentation that work meets state code requirements is a common practice, as such conformity constitutes prima facie evidence of reasonable safety under this provision. Operators typically verify that contractors and tradespeople working on residential premises are performing work consistent with these standards.
