Under Oneida Code ch. 77 § 77-7, property owners and managers who undertake installations, alterations, or repairs to residential premises are generally expected to ensure that all work and associated materials conform to applicable state and City regulations. Compliance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code provides a recognized benchmark—work meeting that code is considered prima facie evidence of reasonable safety. Operators typically document that contractors and materials used on their properties meet these standards, helping to demonstrate conformity if questions arise.
