LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-20
Exterior structural protection
Operative Text
A. Foundation walls. Foundation walls shall be maintained so as to be structurally sound and to prevent entrance of moisture, termites and vermin. Such protection shall consist of shoring, where necessary, subsoil drains at footings, grouting of masonry cracks, waterproofing of walls and joists and other suitable means. B. Exterior walls. Exterior walls and wall components shall be maintained so as to prevent deterioration due to the elements and destructive insects. Such maintenance shall consist of painting, installation or repair of walls, copings and flashings, waterproofing of joints, waterproof coatings, installation or repair of termite shields, poison treatment of soil or other suitable means. C. Roofs. Roofing shall be maintained in watertight condition so as to prevent leakage into the building. Such maintenance shall consist of repairs of roofing, flashing, waterproof coatings or other suitable means.
LeRoy Village Code of Ordinances ch. 128 § 128-20 establishes minimum maintenance standards for the exterior structural elements of buildings, specifically foundation walls, exterior walls, and roofs. Foundation walls must remain structurally sound and resist moisture, termites, and vermin; exterior walls must be protected against weather damage and destructive insects; and roofs must be kept watertight to prevent interior leakage. The provision lists acceptable maintenance methods for each element but allows for other suitable means of achieving the required protection.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 128 § 128-20, compliant property operators in LeRoy Village routinely inspect foundation walls for cracks, moisture intrusion, and signs of pest activity, addressing issues through grouting, waterproofing, or subsoil drainage as needed. For exterior walls and roofs, operators generally maintain a schedule of painting, flashing repairs, waterproof coatings, and termite shield inspections to prevent deterioration before it becomes a structural concern. Keeping dated maintenance records and inspection logs helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with each subsection of this provision.
