LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-61
Referral of violations
Operative Text
Whenever it is determined that the condition of a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit or premises is in violation of any applicable code, the correction or control of which condition is provided for by this chapter or the correction or control of which is provided for by a higher standard if any other law, code, ordinance or regulations, the correction or control of such condition or violation shall be governed by that law, code, ordinance or regulation which establishes the higher standard as provided in § 128-4 .
Section 128-61 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes a 'higher standard' rule for housing violations: when a violation of a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit, or premises could be addressed under multiple laws or codes, the stricter standard governs. This means that if a state law, another local ordinance, or any other regulation sets a more demanding requirement for correcting or controlling a condition than Chapter 128 does, that stricter rule takes precedence. The provision works in tandem with § 128-4, which sets out the general framework for how conflicting standards are resolved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-61, property owners and managers in LeRoy Village are generally expected to identify and comply with the most stringent applicable standard whenever a violation is cited at a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit, or premises. Compliant operators typically review not only Chapter 128 but also any overlapping state or other local codes to determine which sets the higher bar for correction or control. Keeping records of which standard was applied and how the violation was remediated can help demonstrate that the higher-standard requirement was met.

Section 128-61 means that tenants in LeRoy Village may benefit from whichever law or code sets the strictest requirements for correcting conditions in their dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, or rooming unit — not just the baseline rules in Chapter 128. If a housing condition appears to go unaddressed or is corrected only to a lower standard, tenants can look into whether a stricter state or local rule applies under the § 128-4 framework. General enforcement paths may include raising the higher-standard issue with the local code enforcement office or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with LeRoy Village and New York State housing law.
