LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-32
Fuel gas
Operative Text
A. General requirements. Fuel gas piping systems shall be installed and maintained so as to remain gastight, safe and operative under conditions of use. Fuel gas piping systems shall provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the maximum expected demand of the installed gas-burning appliances connected thereto. B. Shutoff valves. Gas piping systems shall have at least one accessible means for shutting off all gas supply, and such means shall be maintained in good operating condition. An easily accessible shutoff valve or cock shall be provided in the piping in close proximity to and ahead of every outlet for gas appliance. C. Service equipment for gas supplied from utility mains. Gas services, gas meters and gas pressure regulators shall be located so that they are protected from damage. D. Gas refrigerators and ranges. Gas refrigerators and ranges shall be installed with clearance for ventilation and shall be maintained in good operating condition. E. High-pressure gas. Any service connection supplying gas at a pressure in excess of one pound per square inch gauge shall be provided with a device to reduce such pressure to not more than 1/2 pound per square inch gauge prior to entering the meter, except where such service supplies equipment using gas at high pressures. F. Liquefied petroleum gas. (1) Undiluted liquefied petroleum gas in liquid form shall not be conveyed through piping equipment and systems in buildings. (2) Liquefied petroleum gas shall not be vaporized by devices utilizing open flame or open electrical coil. (3) Where two or more containers are installed, connection shall be arranged so that containers can be replaced without shutting off the flow of gas to equipment. (4) Containers shall be designed, stored and located so as not to be a hazard to the premises served or to the surrounding property. (5) Systems shall be provided with safety devices to relieve excessive pressures and shall be arranged so that the discharge terminates at a safe location. (6) Systems shall have at least one accessible means for shutting off the gas. Such means shall be located outside the building and shall be maintained in good operating condition.
Section 128-32 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes safety and operational standards for fuel gas piping systems in buildings. The rule covers a broad range of requirements, including that gas piping must remain leak-free and capable of meeting appliance demand, that shutoff valves must be accessible and functional, that meters and regulators must be protected from damage, and that high-pressure gas connections must include pressure-reducing devices. Special rules apply to liquefied petroleum (LP) gas systems, including prohibitions on conveying undiluted LP gas in liquid form through building piping and requirements for outdoor shutoff access and pressure-relief safety devices.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-32 generally ensure that all fuel gas piping is inspected and maintained in a gastight, operational condition at all times. Compliant operators keep shutoff valves accessible and in good working order, verify that individual appliance shutoffs are installed close to each gas outlet, and confirm that meters, regulators, and service equipment are positioned to avoid physical damage. For properties using liquefied petroleum gas, operators typically ensure that LP containers are safely stored, that multi-container systems allow replacement without interrupting gas flow, and that an outdoor shutoff valve is present and functional as required under § 128-32(F).

Tenants living in properties covered by LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-32 have an interest in knowing that their landlord is responsible for maintaining fuel gas systems in a safe, gastight, and operational condition. If a tenant notices signs of a gas leak, a missing or inoperable shutoff valve, or improperly installed gas appliances, these conditions may constitute violations of § 128-32 that can be reported to the appropriate local code enforcement or building inspection authority. Tenants can also reach out to tenant-rights organizations for general guidance on how to document concerns and understand available enforcement paths.
