Section 128-43 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances requires that multiple dwellings keep all fire-protection systems — including fire alarms, sprinklers, standpipes, and portable extinguishers — in proper working order at all times. Sprinkler valves must remain open and heads must be free of corrosion and paint, while standpipe hoses must be dry, undamaged, and ready for immediate use. Each oil-burning appliance used for heating or hot water must be accompanied by an approved hand fire extinguisher or two sand-filled pails. The rule is designed to ensure that fire-suppression equipment is reliably available and functional whenever it is needed.

Operators of multiple dwellings in LeRoy Village are generally expected to conduct regular inspections and maintenance of every fire-protection system covered by § 128-43, including alarm systems, sprinkler heads, standpipe hoses, and portable extinguishers. Compliant operators typically keep sprinkler valves secured in the open position, ensure hose lines are dry and free of deterioration, and confirm that extinguishers or sand pails are present and accessible at each oil-burning appliance.
