Section 128-36 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes comprehensive standards for electrical wiring and equipment in residential spaces. The rule requires that all electrical systems be safely installed, properly grounded, protected against overcurrent, and accessible for service, while also setting minimum outlet requirements for habitable rooms, kitchens, and laundry areas. It prohibits the use of extension cords as substitutes for permanent wiring or as a means of running power between rooms.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-36, compliant operators ensure that all electrical wiring and equipment in their rental units meets generally accepted installation standards, is firmly secured, and is appropriate for its environment — including damp, wet, or high-temperature locations. Operators typically verify that every habitable room has the required number of outlets or light fixtures, that kitchens and laundry rooms meet their specific outlet minimums, and that service equipment and overcurrent devices remain readily accessible. Routine inspections help confirm that no extension cords are being used in place of permanent wiring, which is expressly prohibited under this section.

Section 128-36 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns if their unit's electrical wiring or equipment appears unsafe, improperly installed, or fails to meet the minimum outlet requirements for habitable rooms, kitchens, or laundry areas. If a landlord has not addressed a reported electrical deficiency, tenants may consider filing a complaint with LeRoy Village's code enforcement office, which is responsible for overseeing compliance with Chapter 128. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what documentation to gather and what local processes may be available when electrical conditions fall short of the standards set in this provision.
