Section 156-28 of Fallsburg's Code of Ordinances establishes minimum construction and operational standards for incinerators in buildings. Incinerators must be properly sized, connected to noncombustible chimneys or flues, and equipped with spark arresters and, where applicable, auxiliary fuel-burning capability to ensure complete combustion. Service openings must be accessible to building occupants, and posted signs must clearly warn against disposing of highly flammable materials in the incinerator.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating incinerators under ch. 156 § 156-28 generally ensure that each unit is appropriately sized for its intended load and connected to a noncombustible chimney, smokestack, or flue with a spark arrester in place. Flue-fed systems require auxiliary fuel-burning capability to guarantee complete combustion, and all connections must allow refuse to pass freely without clogging. Compliant operators also keep service openings accessible and post durable, legible signs near those openings warning occupants not to dispose of highly flammable substances.

Under Fallsburg Code § 156-28, building occupants are entitled to incinerator service openings that are readily accessible and accompanied by clearly posted warning signs about flammable materials. If an incinerator appears improperly maintained, lacks required safety features such as a spark arrester, or has blocked or inaccessible service openings, tenants may consider reporting the condition to the appropriate local code enforcement or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available under this provision.
