In general, section 381 of the Executive Law directs that the State's cities, towns and villages administer and enforce the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (Uniform Code). However, the statute contemplates the need for alternative procedures for certain classes of buildings based upon their design, construction, ownership, occupancy or use, and authorizes the Secretary of State to establish those procedures. Those exceptions are the subject of this Part.
