Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-29
Protection of exterior exposed surfaces
Operative Text
All exterior exposed surfaces not inherently resistant to deterioration shall be repaired, coated, treated or sealed to protect them from deterioration or weathering.
Section 160-29 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances requires that any exterior surface of a building that is not naturally resistant to decay or weather damage must be protected through repair, coating, treatment, or sealing. The rule is aimed at preventing deterioration caused by exposure to the elements. It applies broadly to exterior surfaces that would otherwise be vulnerable to weathering without some form of protective maintenance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 160-29, compliant property operators routinely inspect all exterior surfaces—such as wood siding, trim, and similar materials—to identify any that are not inherently weather-resistant. When such surfaces are found, operators arrange for appropriate protective measures, which may include painting, sealing, treating, or repairing those surfaces before deterioration progresses. Keeping records of maintenance schedules and completed work can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 160-29 establishes that tenants have an interest in living in a building whose exterior surfaces are properly maintained and protected from weathering and decay. If exterior surfaces appear to be peeling, rotting, or otherwise deteriorating without protective treatment, this may indicate a violation of this provision. Tenants can document such conditions with photographs, report concerns to the appropriate local code enforcement office in Endicott, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
