The City of Rochester Housing Code has been a customized, locally adopted code for years. The housing code is proposed to be updated to better align with the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). The IPMC is an internationally recognized standard that has been vetted at the international level, and allows the City to benchmark ourselves to other communities.
