LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-55
Responsibilities of lodging house operator
Operative Text
Lodging house operators shall be responsible for compliance with this chapter in regards to the following: A. Limiting occupancy to the maximum permitted by this chapter. B. Maintenance of safe and sanitary conditions in all parts of lodging house premises. C. Maintenance and operation of all required service facilities. D. Maintenance of all plumbing, cooking and refrigeration fixtures and appliances within his control, as well as other building equipment and facilities, in an operative, clean and sanitary condition. E. Sanitary maintenance of walls, floors and ceilings. F. Keeping exits clear and unencumbered. G. Disposal of building garbage and refuse in a clean and sanitary manner. H. Extermination of insects, rodents or other pests on the premises.
Under LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-55, lodging house operators bear direct responsibility for a broad set of health, safety, and maintenance obligations throughout their premises. These obligations include keeping occupancy within permitted limits, maintaining sanitary conditions in all areas, ensuring plumbing and appliances under their control are functional and clean, keeping exits clear, and managing pest control and refuse disposal. The provision places these duties squarely on the operator rather than distributing them to individual occupants.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of lodging houses subject to LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-55 are generally expected to conduct regular inspections of all common and individual areas to verify sanitary conditions, functional plumbing, cooking, and refrigeration equipment, and unobstructed exits. Compliant operators typically maintain documented schedules for garbage removal, pest extermination, and upkeep of walls, floors, and ceilings. Tracking occupancy counts against the maximums permitted under ch. 128 is also a standard practice for operators seeking to remain in compliance with § 128-55.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants residing in a lodging house covered by LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-55 have an interest in knowing that the law places maintenance and safety obligations—including pest control, sanitary conditions, functional fixtures, and clear exits—on the operator, not the occupant. If conditions appear to fall short of these standards, residents may consider documenting the issues and reaching out to LeRoy Village's local code enforcement or housing authority to report potential violations of § 128-55. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can also help residents understand what options may be available when an operator appears to be out of compliance.
