When houses were built in my neighborhood 25 years ago in upstate NY, no
codes for sump discharge existed. Builders just connected sump discharge
to waste water pipe in basement. Now I assume the preferred discharge is
to go through foundation (or retro out through floor decking on top of
foundation) down into the ground below freeze line sloping down to the
storm drain.

I have seen a retro in the adjacent neighborhood where basically a trench
is dug in the side yard and discharge piping is run out to storm drain. I
assume this should all be done by professionals? Cost?

No reason a sump pump discharge line can't be a simple DIY project.
Normally the water can't be sent into the sanitary sewer system. In
most cases, it's just handled by discharging it away from the house
above ground in a convenient part of the property. The line comes
out of the house at or slightly above ground and slopes continually
downward, so that it will drain and not freeze. One thing you want
to be careful about is not discharging it into the street, where it
can freeze in winter and cause a hazard.

A sanitary sewer system takes the output of toilets, etc. to a
wastewater treatment plant. By comparison, a storm sewer system takes
rain runoff, and possibly sump pump output, to a natural waterway
without any special treatment.
