Section 128-44 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes safety and maintenance standards for elevators, dumbwaiters, and escalators in multiple dwellings. The rule requires that these systems be kept free of physical and fire hazards, that cars display rated-capacity signs in visible locations, and that emergency signaling devices be available inside elevator cars. It also prohibits tampering with required safety or electrical protective devices except during authorized testing, inspection, or maintenance, and mandates that hoistways, pits, and machine rooms be kept clean and free of unnecessary materials or flammable liquids.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multiple dwellings subject to LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-44 generally maintain a routine inspection and housekeeping program covering all vertical-transport equipment. Compliant operators ensure that capacity placards are posted conspicuously in each car, that emergency signaling devices remain functional, and that machine rooms are kept free of grease, oil, flammable liquids, and unrelated stored materials. Records of inspections and maintenance activities help demonstrate ongoing compliance with the provision's prohibition on disabling safety or electrical protective devices outside of authorized service work.

Residents of multiple dwellings in LeRoy Village are protected by § 128-44, which requires that elevators, dumbwaiters, and escalators be kept safe, properly signed, and equipped with working emergency signals. If an elevator appears to lack a capacity sign, shows signs of neglect such as debris in the hoistway, or if a safety device appears to have been disabled outside of a maintenance context, tenants may report these conditions to the appropriate local code enforcement or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how to document concerns and what local complaint processes may be available under this provision.
