LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-21
Interior structural protection
Operative Text
A. Crawl space. Crawl space shall be maintained free of moisture, and the flow of air from such spaces into walls above shall be effectively barred so as to prevent deterioration of structural members. Such provisions shall consist of maintenance of openings in foundation walls to provide adequate circulation of air in the crawl space, covering the ground in the crawl space with a moisture barrier, installation of drains outside the structure if the crawl space is below surrounding grade, blocking openings in stud walls to prevent flow of air and moisture into walls, frequent destruction of termite tubes from the soil to wood floor members above, poison treatment of soil and other suitable means. B. Structural members. Structural members shall be maintained so as to be structurally sound. Such protection shall consist of shoring, reinforcement or repair, where necessary, frequent destruction of termite tubes or other appropriate means. C. Chimneys and flues. Chimneys and flues shall be maintained so as to be structurally sound and to prevent leakage of gases into the structure. Such maintenance shall consist of clearing flue stoppages, scaling open joints, repairing masonry, where necessary, and other suitable means. D. Ceilings and walls. Ceilings and walls shall be maintained so that parts which become loose or defective do not constitute a hazard to occupants. In addition, ceilings and walls shall be maintained free of holes. Such maintenance shall consist of removing and replacing loose or defective sections. E. Bathrooms. Toilet room and bathroom floors shall be maintained so as to prevent leakage of water through the floor, under normal conditions of use and floor washing, and resultant deterioration or defects in structural members and ceilings below. Maintenance shall consist of repairs which effectively provide the moisture- and waterproof qualities required for the particular floor.
LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 § 128-21 establishes interior structural protection standards for residential properties, covering crawl spaces, structural members, chimneys and flues, ceilings and walls, and bathroom floors. Each element must be kept in a condition that prevents moisture intrusion, structural deterioration, pest damage, gas leakage, and physical hazards to occupants. The rule outlines specific maintenance methods—such as moisture barriers, termite tube removal, masonry repair, and waterproofing—as examples of how compliance can be achieved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 128 § 128-21, compliant property operators routinely inspect crawl spaces for moisture and ensure adequate foundation ventilation and ground-level moisture barriers are in place. They address structural members through shoring or repair as needed, clear chimney flues and seal masonry joints to prevent gas leakage, replace loose or defective ceiling and wall sections before they become hazards, and maintain bathroom floors with effective waterproofing to prevent water from penetrating to structural elements below. Keeping dated maintenance records and inspection logs is a common practice among operators who demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
