UNIFORM CODE ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT REPORT
(REPORTING YEAR: 2019)
Instructions
The official who oversees code enforcement activities for your city, town, village, or county jurisdiction must complete this form. If your local
government has transferred such responsibilities to another local government by opting out of enforcement or entering a shared services
agreement as provided by law, then this official will be part of the other local government. Even if your local government is not required to
submit the report because it has transferred responsibility, we recommend you complete this form to assure the Department of State has
accurate information about who is responsible for code enforcement in your jurisdiction.
The "Reporting Year" is the calendar year (January through December) for which the reported data have been collected. The "Uniform
Code" is the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. The "Energy Code" is the New York State Energy Conservation
Construction Code. The —Code Official— is the offical enforcing the Uniform Code or Energy Code in the ${muni_type}.
If you are submitting on behalf of a local government that administers the Uniform Code or the Energy Code for other local governments, you
must submit a separate report on each city, town, village, and county for which you administer those services.
If you still have questions after reviewing this form and instructions, please contact the Division of Building Standards and Codes at (518)

Energy Code
The State Energy Conservation Construction Code (Energy Code) was amended and updated in its entirety, effective October 3, 2016. The
amended and updated version of the Energy Code includes specific requirements relating to construction documents, applications for building
approvals of applications for building permits, and inspections and tests to be performed during construction. The questions in this section of
this Report relate to the Municipality's familiarity with, and ability to enforce, these new provisions.
In this section of this Report, the term "2015 IECC" means the 2015 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (Second Printing,
May 2015), the term "2016 Energy Code Supplement" means the publication entitled "2016 Supplement to the New York State Energy
Conservation Construction Code (Revised August 2016)," the term "residential building" is as defined in the 2016 Energy Code Supplement,
and the term "commercial building" means any building that is not a residential building
The term "residential building" includes: (1) detached one -family dwellings having not more than three stories above
grade plane; (2) detached two-family dwellings having not more than three stories above grade plane; (3) buildings that (i) consist of three or
more attached townhouse units and (ii) have not more than three stories above grade plane; (4) buildings that (i) are classified in accordance
with Chapter 3 of the 2015 International Building Code (as amended) in Group R-2, R-3 or R-4 and (ii) have not more than three stories above
grade plane; (5) factory manufactured homes (as defined in section 372(8) of the New York State Executive Law); and (6) mobile homes (as
defined in section 372(13) of the New York State Executive Law). For the purposes of this definition of the term "residential building," the term
"townhouse unit" means a single-family dwelling unit constructed in a group of three or more attached units in which each unit (i) extends from
the foundation to roof and (ii) has open space on at least two sides.
