N.Y. General Municipal Law § 120-z: Sewer hook-ups by private contractors

§ 120-z. Sewer hook-ups by private contractors. Whenever a contractor

retained or hired to connect or hook-up a private property with a sewer

system in a city, town or village, requires that all or a portion of the

cost of such connection for hook-up be paid in advance of completion of

the same, the amount of such payment shall be held by such contractor in

an escrow account until completion of such work, if the city, town or

village in which the work is to be done so requires. Such city, town or

village may by local law or ordinance regulate such escrow payments and

the enforcement thereof.
