Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 158-36
Control of atmospheric discharge
Operative Text
Fuel-burning heat-producing equipment shall be installed and maintained so that the emission or discharge into the atmosphere of smoke, dust, particles, odors or other products of combustion will not create a nuisance or be detrimental to the health, comfort, safety or property of any person.
Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 § 158-36 establishes that any fuel-burning heat-producing equipment must be both installed and kept in a condition that prevents its combustion byproducts—such as smoke, dust, particles, or odors—from becoming a nuisance or harming people's health, comfort, safety, or property. The rule applies throughout the life of the equipment, not just at the point of installation. It covers any atmospheric discharge that could negatively affect others, regardless of the source's size or type.
