In general, local governments are charged with the administration and enforcement of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (Uniform Code). However, a local government has the option to decline that responsibility by adopting a local law to that effect, in which event the responsibility passes to the respective county. Counties are accorded a similar option. If a local government and a county each exercises its option, the statute provides for administration and enforcement of the Uniform Code by the Secretary of State in the place and stead of the local government. Certain other events may also result in administration and enforcement of the Uniform Code by the Secretary of State. This Part establishes the procedures applicable in circumstances in which the Secretary of State must administer and enforce the Uniform Code in the place and stead of a local government or county.
