Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 252 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 252-6
Applicability of other regulations
Operative Text
Repairs, additions or alterations to a structure, changes of occupancy or premises shall be done in accordance with the procedures and provisions of the Code of the Town of Manchester, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, the International Building, Plumbing, Mechanical and Electrical Codes and other applicable codes.
Section 252-6 of Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 252 establishes that any repair, addition, alteration, change of occupancy, or change of premises must comply with a layered set of building and safety codes — including the Town of Manchester's own code, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, and the relevant International Codes covering building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work. The provision does not create new standalone requirements but instead ensures that existing code frameworks all apply simultaneously. No single code displaces the others; compliance with each applicable code is required.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 252-6, property owners and managers undertaking any repair, addition, alteration, or change of occupancy are generally expected to identify and satisfy every applicable code layer — local, state, and international — before and during the work. Compliant operators typically obtain the appropriate permits, engage licensed contractors familiar with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code as well as the relevant International Codes, and confirm that no single approval substitutes for the others. Keeping documentation of code compliance for each layer of regulation is a common practice among operators working under provisions like Section 252-6.

Section 252-6 means that when work is performed on a rental property — such as repairs, alterations, or a change in how the space is occupied — that work is subject to multiple overlapping codes, including state and international standards. Tenants who believe work was done without proper permits or in violation of applicable building, plumbing, mechanical, or electrical codes may have grounds to raise those concerns with the Town of Manchester's code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how a violation of Section 252-6 might be relevant to habitability concerns or other housing complaints.
