LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-54
Responsibilities of occupants
Operative Text
Occupants of dwelling unit shall be responsible for compliance with this chapter in regard to the following: A. Limiting occupancy of that part of the premises which he occupies or controls to the maximum permitted by this chapter. B. Maintenance of that part of the premises which he occupies or controls in a clean, sanitary and safe condition. C. Maintenance of all plumbing, cooking and refrigeration fixtures and appliances, as well as other building equipment and storage facilities in that part of the premises which he occupies or controls, in a clean and sanitary condition and providing reasonable care in the operation and use thereof. D. Keeping exits from his dwelling unit clear and unencumbered. E. Disposal of garbage and refuse into provided facilities in a clean and sanitary manner. F. Extermination of insects, rodents or other pests within his dwelling unit if his unit is the only one infested in the premises. G. Keeping his domestic animals and pets in an appropriate manner and under control.
Section 128-54 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances places a set of maintenance and conduct responsibilities directly on the people who live in a dwelling unit, rather than solely on the property owner. These responsibilities cover keeping the occupied space clean, safe, and within permitted occupancy limits, as well as properly disposing of waste, keeping exits clear, and controlling pets. When a pest infestation is confined to a single unit, the occupant of that unit—not the landlord—bears responsibility for extermination under this section.

Under § 128-54, LeRoy Village shifts several day-to-day compliance obligations to tenants, which means a compliant operator generally documents these responsibilities in the lease agreement so tenants are on clear notice. Property managers typically conduct periodic inspections to confirm that exits remain unobstructed, common refuse facilities are being used properly, and occupancy limits are not being exceeded. When a violation of § 128-54 is identified, operators generally maintain records showing whether the condition originated within the tenant's controlled space, since that distinction affects who bears responsibility under the chapter.

Section 128-54 of the LeRoy Village Code of Ordinances outlines the specific areas where tenants—not landlords—are held responsible for compliance, including cleanliness, exit clearance, pest control in a solely infested unit, and pet management. Tenants who believe a landlord is improperly attributing a violation to them, or who have concerns about conditions that fall outside their controlled space, may wish to review the full chapter to understand where landlord obligations begin. Tenant-rights organizations and local code enforcement offices can be resources for understanding how § 128-54 responsibilities are typically applied and what options exist when disputes arise.
