Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-29
Mail service
Operative Text
A. Mailbox location shall provide safe and easy access for the pickup and delivery of mail. B. Grouped mailboxes for cluster delivery shall be located in a way that will not require stopping on a public right-of-way for pickup. C. When mailboxes are grouped together for some form of cluster delivery, such groupings shall be landscaped.
Section 83-29 of the Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances establishes standards for how mailboxes must be positioned and maintained at residential properties. Individual mailboxes must be accessible safely and conveniently for both mail carriers and residents picking up their mail. When multiple mailboxes are clustered together for group delivery, they must be placed so that no one needs to stop in a public right-of-way to retrieve mail, and the cluster area must include landscaping.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Sodus Code § 83-29, property operators who provide grouped or cluster mailbox arrangements are generally expected to site those installations away from public rights-of-way and to incorporate landscaping around the cluster. For all mailbox configurations, maintaining safe and easy access for mail pickup and delivery is a baseline expectation. Operators reviewing new construction or renovation plans should confirm that mailbox placement satisfies each of the three subsections of § 83-29 before finalizing site layouts.

Section 83-29 of the Sodus Code gives residents a basis to raise concerns if mailbox placement at their property creates unsafe access conditions or requires stopping in a public right-of-way to retrieve mail. Tenants who believe their property's mailbox arrangement does not meet these standards may consider documenting the conditions and contacting the appropriate Sodus municipal code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can also help residents understand what options may be available under § 83-29.
