Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 199-27, compliant residential property operators ensure that every dwelling unit contains the four required plumbing fixtures — kitchen sink, water closet, bathtub or shower, and lavatory — and that the building's plumbing system delivers both hot and cold water to the appropriate fixtures. Operators also confirm that no outhouses, privies, or privy vaults exist anywhere on residential premises. Routine inspections and maintenance records help demonstrate ongoing compliance with these baseline standards.
