Code Enforcement
Code Enforcement Officer / Building Inspector:
Otis Vezzose
315-594-1572
The Code Enforcement Department is responsible for enforcement of local zoning, permits for new construction and fire inspections as applicable to all private property in the Village.
BUILDING PERMITS: With the exception of minor repairs and replacement (in-kind) of existing building features, all construction type work including new buildings, additions, interior renovations/remodeling and major repairs need a Building Permit. This is to verify compliance with the Building Codes of New York State. According to New York State Education Law, documentation for every Building Permit must be prepared/reviewed by a professional Architect/Engineer. The Enforcement Officer MAY waive this requirement for projects up to $20,000 and/or under 1,500 sf.
All work that involves the construction of new buildings or the addition to an existing building (changes the footprint), or that may change the use category of an existing building will require the issuance of a Building Permit.
ZONING VARIANCES: Projects that can not meet the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, may be reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). The ZBA may approve variances from the standard regulations. There are two types of variances: Area or Use. Area variances are more common and are limited to relief from physical requirements such as lot coverage, setbacks, and height. Use variances to allow the use of a property for purposes not allowed by the Zoning District, are less common and the standards are much more stringent to satisfy. The variance process starts with a Building Permit Application at the Village Office.
FIRE CODE INSPECTIONS: With the exception of one and two family dwellings, all buildings are subject to semi-annual inspections for compliance with the Fire Code of New York State. Buildings used for commercial purposes will be inspected in even number years, and Multiple Housing Units will be inspected in odd number years. Places of Public Assembly, including Fraternities and Sororities, will be inspected every year.
