LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-64
Demolition as compliance
Operative Text
Any owner of a building receiving a notice of violation stating that such building does not comply with the provisions of this chapter may demolish such building, and such action shall be deemed compliance. On demolition, all utilities shall be properly disconnected by the owner, operator, agent or occupant.
Under LeRoy Village Code of Ordinances ch. 128 § 128-64, when a building owner receives an official notice of violation indicating the structure fails to meet the chapter's requirements, one recognized path to achieving compliance is the complete demolition of the building. Demolition is treated as satisfying the violation rather than requiring repairs or upgrades. Additionally, the provision requires that all utility connections be properly severed at the time of demolition, with responsibility falling on the owner, operator, agent, or occupant.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-64, property owners who receive a notice of violation have the option to demolish the non-compliant building as an alternative to bringing it into code compliance through repairs. Operators who choose this route are generally expected to ensure that all utilities—such as gas, water, and electricity—are properly disconnected at the time of demolition. Documenting the disconnection of utilities and coordinating with relevant utility providers are actions that compliant operators typically take to satisfy the full scope of this provision.

Section 128-64 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances grants building owners the right to demolish a structure as a means of resolving a notice of violation, which can directly affect occupants living in the building. Tenants in a building subject to a violation notice should be aware that demolition is a legally recognized compliance option under this provision, potentially impacting their housing situation. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing agencies can be resources for understanding what protections or relocation rights may apply when a landlord pursues demolition under ch. 128 § 128-64.
