Permits, inspections and renter help: where to start

Ongoing service

Where: Fairport Village Hall and Perinton Town Hall

From the Town of Perinton and the Village of Fairport.

What this means

First check whether you're in the village. Then use that government's code office for permits and inspections, and the state tenants' guide for lease, deposit and repair questions.

Building permits, inspections and certificates of occupancy go through a different office depending on which side of the village line you're on. Inside the Village of Fairport, it's the village's Building, Planning, Zoning and Code Enforcement office; everywhere else in Perinton, it's the town's Building and Codes Department. Not sure which side you're on? Here's how to tell.

Renters with questions about leases, security deposits, repairs and living conditions, or subletting can start with the New York Attorney General's Residential Tenants' Rights Guide. For dog licenses and shelter rentals, start at the town's Residents page.
