LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-27
Sewage drainage system
Operative Text
A. Plumbing fixtures shall be drained to a sewage drainage system, and such system shall be connected to a public sewer or to an adequate and approved system of sewage disposal. B. Substances which will clog the pipes, produce explosive mixtures, destroy the pipes or their joints or interfere unduly with the sewage disposal process shall not be discharged into the building drainage system, unless it is provided with approved devices suitable for intercepting such substances. C. Each fixture directly connected to the sewage drainage system shall be equipped with a water seal trap. D. Adequate cleanouts shall be provided and maintained so that the pipes may be readily cleaned. E. The drainage system and its attendant vent piping shall be maintained so as to provide adequate circulation of air in all pipes in order that siphonage, aspiration or pressure will not cause a loss of trap seal under ordinary conditions of use. F. Each vent terminal to the outer air shall be installed and maintained so as to minimize the possibilities of clogging, frost closure, the return of foul air to the building or the creation of a nuisance to adjacent premises. G. Drains provided for fixtures, devices, appliances or apparatus containing food, water, sterile goods or similar materials shall be equipped with air breaks adequate to prevent contamination of such contents from any possible backup of sewage through the direct or indirect drainage piping.
LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-27 establishes comprehensive standards for how sewage drainage systems in buildings must be constructed and maintained. All plumbing fixtures must connect to an approved sewage system, and harmful substances that could damage or clog pipes are prohibited from being discharged unless proper intercepting devices are installed. The rule also requires water seal traps on fixtures, adequate cleanouts, proper venting to prevent siphonage, and air breaks on drains serving food or sterile-goods equipment to prevent sewage contamination.

Property owners and managers operating under LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-27 are generally expected to ensure that all plumbing fixtures are connected to an approved public sewer or sewage disposal system and that each fixture has a functioning water seal trap. Compliant operators routinely maintain cleanouts for easy pipe access, keep vent piping in working order to prevent trap seal loss, and install approved interceptor devices if any tenant or operational use involves substances that could damage the drainage system. Drains serving food-handling or sterile-goods equipment should be fitted with adequate air breaks to guard against sewage backflow contamination.

Under LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-27, tenants have an interest in knowing that their building's sewage drainage system — including traps, vents, cleanouts, and any necessary interceptors — must be properly installed and maintained by the property owner. If a tenant observes issues such as sewer odors, slow drains, or apparent sewage backup that may indicate a failure to meet these standards, they may consider documenting the conditions and reporting concerns to the local code enforcement or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with LeRoy Village ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available when drainage system deficiencies are identified.
