LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-53
Responsibilities of owners
Operative Text
A. Owners of premises shall be responsible for compliance with this chapter and shall remain responsible therefor, regardless of the fact that this chapter may also place certain responsibilities on operators and occupants, and regardless of any agreement between owners and operators or occupants as to which party shall assume such responsibility. B. Owners of premises shall be responsible for proper maintenance, condition and operation of service facilities, and for furnishing adequate heat and hot water supply in multiple dwellings.
LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 § 128-53 establishes that property owners bear ultimate responsibility for compliance with the chapter's housing standards, even when operators or occupants also carry certain duties under the same code. Private agreements between owners and other parties—such as leases or management contracts—do not shift this legal responsibility away from the owner. Owners are additionally required to keep service facilities properly maintained and operational, and to provide adequate heat and hot water in multiple dwellings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under LeRoy Village Code § 128-53, property owners and managers should understand that compliance obligations rest with the owner regardless of what any lease or management agreement says about who handles maintenance. Operators who oversee day-to-day building functions on behalf of an owner do not relieve the owner of accountability under this chapter. Compliant operators generally maintain service facilities in good working order and ensure that heat and hot water are consistently and adequately supplied to all units in multiple dwellings.

Section 128-53 of the LeRoy Village Code gives tenants a clear basis for holding property owners accountable for building conditions, service facility maintenance, and the provision of adequate heat and hot water—regardless of whether a management company or another party handles day-to-day operations. If these standards are not being met, tenants may consider documenting the conditions and raising the owner's obligations under § 128-53 when communicating with the owner or relevant local authorities. Consulting a tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand what enforcement or complaint options may be available under this provision.
