LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-62
Power to act in emergencies
Operative Text
Whenever the Housing Inspector, at any stage of the proceedings instituted under the provisions of this chapter, finds that a violation of this chapter exists which, in his opinion, requires immediate action to abate a direct hazards, or immediate danger to the health, safety, morals and welfare of the occupants of a building or of the public, he may, without prior notice or hearing, issue an order citing the violation and directing that such action be taken as is necessary to remove or abate the hazard or danger immediately. Such order may include an order to vacate as provided in § 128-71C if not remedied immediately.
Under LeRoy Village Code § 128-62, the Housing Inspector is authorized to issue an emergency order without advance notice or a hearing when an immediate hazard or danger to health, safety, morals, or welfare is found at any point during code proceedings. The order must identify the violation and direct whatever action is needed to remove or abate the danger right away. If the hazard is not remedied immediately, the order may also require occupants to vacate the building, as outlined in § 128-71C.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to LeRoy Village Code § 128-62 should understand that the Housing Inspector can bypass the usual notice-and-hearing process when an emergency condition is identified. Operators who maintain properties in continuous compliance with the housing code reduce the risk of receiving such an expedited order. When an emergency order is issued under § 128-62, it typically demands immediate corrective action and may escalate to a vacate order under § 128-71C if the hazard is not resolved on the spot.

LeRoy Village Code § 128-62 gives occupants a layer of protection by empowering the Housing Inspector to act immediately—without waiting for a formal hearing—when a serious hazard is discovered in a building. If you are living in a unit where an emergency order has been issued, that order may include a directive to vacate under § 128-71C, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain what that means for your housing situation. Tenants who believe an immediate danger exists in their building may contact the Village's Housing Inspector directly to request an inspection under the authority of § 128-62.
