Section 8-128 of Trenton's Property Maintenance Code restricts where above-ground fuel storage tanks may be located within city limits, permitting them only in areas zoned Conservation, Highway Business, and Industrial. Any tank placed in one of these zones must also satisfy all applicable state and federal standards governing how such tanks are sited, built, and operated. Tanks located in zones not listed are not permitted under this provision.

For Property Managers

Under § 8-128, property owners and managers who operate or plan to install above-ground fuel storage tanks must confirm that the subject property falls within a Conservation, Highway Business, or Industrial zoning designation before proceeding. Compliant operators also ensure that their tanks meet every relevant state and federal requirement covering location, construction, and ongoing operation. Maintaining documentation of zoning status and regulatory compliance is a practice commonly associated with meeting this provision's dual requirements.

For Tenants

Section 8-128 establishes zoning and safety standards for above-ground fuel storage tanks that may affect the conditions of a rental property or its surrounding area. Tenants who believe a tank is located in a non-permitted zone or does not meet required standards may report concerns to Trenton's property maintenance or code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how provisions like § 8-128 relate to habitability or safety concerns at a rental property.
