LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-63
Housing Inspector to abate hazards in emergencies
Operative Text
Whenever any violation of this chapter, which in the opinion of the Housing Inspector causes a direct hazard or immediate danger to the health, safety, morals or welfare of the occupants of a building or the public, has not been corrected in the time specified by the order issued under § 128-62 , the Housing Inspector may take such direct action as is necessary to abate the hazard or danger. Expenses incurred in the execution of such orders shall be recovered as provided in § 128-71J .
Section 128-63 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances authorizes the Housing Inspector to step in and directly remedy a hazardous condition when a property owner has failed to correct a violation within the timeframe set by an order issued under § 128-62. This emergency abatement power applies when the Inspector determines that the uncorrected violation poses an immediate threat to the health, safety, morals, or welfare of building occupants or the general public. Any costs the village incurs in carrying out that direct action can be recovered from the responsible party under § 128-71J.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-63, a property owner or manager who receives a compliance order under § 128-62 and does not correct the cited violation within the specified timeframe risks having the Housing Inspector intervene directly to abate the hazard. Compliant operators generally treat correction deadlines as firm, document all remediation steps taken, and communicate proactively with the Housing Inspector if circumstances affect their ability to meet a deadline. Because expenses incurred during the Inspector's direct action are recoverable under § 128-71J, failing to act within the allotted time can result in financial liability beyond the original violation.

Section 128-63 gives LeRoy Village's Housing Inspector authority to take direct corrective action when a dangerous condition in a building has not been addressed by the landlord within the time ordered under § 128-62, which can be a meaningful protection for occupants facing immediate hazards. Tenants who believe a violation in their building poses an urgent threat to health or safety may consider contacting the Housing Inspector's office to report the condition and inquire whether an emergency abatement order is warranted. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local code enforcement can help occupants understand what documentation to gather and what options may be available under this provision.
