Operative Text
A. A Minimum Standards Appeal Board is hereby established. It shall be the duty of such Board to conduct hearings in accordance with the procedure set forth in § 128-70 . B. The Board shall consist of five members appointed by the Village Board; members shall serve without pay. Of the members first appointed, one member shall serve for a term of one year; two for a term of two years; two for a term of three years. Thereafter the term of office shall be for three years. A member shall continue to hold office until his successor is appointed and has qualified. A majority of the members shall constitute a quorum. Appointments of successors shall be for a full term of three years, except that the appointment of a person to fill a vacancy of any unexpired term of any members shall be filled for such unexpired term only. C. The Minimum Standards Appeal Board shall choose its own Chairman, and in his absence an Acting Chairman, and shall adopt its own rules of procedure. All meetings of the Board shall be held at the call of the Chairman and at such other times as the Board shall determine. D. The Chairman or, in his absence, the Acting Chairman may administer oaths and compel the attendance of witnesses. E. All meetings of the Minimum Standards Appeal Board shall be open to the public; provided, however, that the Chairman, upon the request of the petitioner, may declare the meeting closed to the public during the testimony and examination of the petitioner. Upon the completion of petitioner's testimony and examination, the Chairman shall reopen the meeting. After all parties and owners of affected property who have appeared have been heard, the Board may conduct its deliberations in executive session. F. The concurring vote of three members of the Minimum Standard Appeal Board shall be necessary to decide in favor of the applicant any matter upon which said Board is required to pass under the provisions of this chapter. G. No application or appeal, even for a variance or special exception, shall be submitted directly to the Minimum Standards Appeal Board; every application or appeal shall be submitted first to the appropriate office, department, board or bureau of the village.
Section 128-75 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes the Minimum Standards Appeal Board, a five-member body appointed by the Village Board to hear appeals related to housing minimum standards under Chapter 128. Members serve staggered terms of one, two, or three years, with subsequent terms lasting three years, and they receive no compensation. The Board operates under its own rules of procedure, holds public meetings, and requires the agreement of at least three members to rule in favor of an applicant. No appeal may go directly to this Board — every matter must first pass through the appropriate village office or department before reaching it.

Property owners or managers subject to a minimum standards determination under LeRoy Village Code Chapter 128 should be aware that § 128-75 requires all appeals to be routed first through the appropriate village office, department, board, or bureau before the Minimum Standards Appeal Board will consider them. A compliant operator generally ensures that any application or appeal is filed with the correct village body at the outset, avoiding procedural delays caused by submitting directly to the Appeal Board. Keeping records of all submissions and correspondence with village offices helps demonstrate that proper procedural steps were followed.

Section 128-75 gives tenants and other affected parties the right to appear and be heard before the Minimum Standards Appeal Board during hearings conducted under Chapter 128. Tenants should be aware that meetings are generally open to the public, though a petitioner may request that their own testimony be heard in a closed session. Those seeking to understand their options under this provision may benefit from contacting the LeRoy Village offices directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on the appeals process.
