Scaffolding in unincorporated Oneida County follows NY State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (19 NYCRR) and OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L. Local building departments issue permits for scaffolds exceeding 40 ft or encroaching on public right-of-way.
Oneida County delegates building permit enforcement to town code enforcement officers. Utica and Rome have separate municipal code enforcement. NY Labor Law 240 (Scaffold Law) imposes absolute liability on property owners and contractors for gravity-related injuries to workers. Contact Oneida County at (315) 798-5800 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
