LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-24
General equipment requirements
Operative Text
A. Plumbing, heating, electrical, ventilating, air-conditioning, refrigerating, cooking, fire-protection and radiation-production equipment, elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators and other mechanical additions, installations or systems for the use of the buildings shall be installed, located and maintained so that under normal conditions of use such equipment and systems will not be a danger to health or welfare, a danger because of structural defects or a source of ignition or a radiation hazard, and will not create excessive noise or otherwise become a nuisance. Equipment and systems include but are not limited to apparatus, devices, fixtures, piping, pipe hangers, pipe covering, wiring, fittings and materials used as part of, or in connection with, such installations. B. Equipment and systems subject to damage from freezing shall be adequately protected against freezing. C. Moving parts of equipment which may be a potential hazard shall be guarded to protect against accidental contact.
Section 128-24 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances requires that all mechanical systems in a building — including plumbing, heating, electrical, ventilation, elevators, and similar equipment — be installed, located, and maintained so they do not endanger health or safety under normal use. The rule also covers protection of freeze-sensitive systems against cold weather and requires that moving parts posing a hazard be guarded against accidental contact. The provision applies broadly to all components of these systems, from piping and wiring to fixtures and fittings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-24, compliant property operators generally keep all mechanical systems — plumbing, heating, electrical, ventilation, refrigeration, fire protection, and others — in a condition that poses no health, structural, ignition, radiation, or noise hazard during normal use. Operators also take steps to protect any freeze-susceptible equipment before cold weather arrives and ensure that exposed moving parts are properly guarded. Routine inspections and documented maintenance records are common practices for demonstrating ongoing compliance with these general equipment standards.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 128-24 establishes a baseline right for occupants to have building equipment and mechanical systems that are safe, properly maintained, and free from hazards such as fire risk, radiation, excessive noise, or structural danger. If equipment in a rental unit or common area appears to violate these standards — for example, unguarded moving parts or unprotected pipes that have frozen — tenants may consider documenting the condition and reporting it to the appropriate LeRoy Village code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord has not addressed equipment deficiencies covered by ch. 128.
