Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-23 establishes minimum heating standards for service structures. Any such building that lacks conventional heating must be equipped with space heating capable of sustaining an interior temperature of 70°F even when outside temperatures drop to -10°F, and that equipment must receive Building Inspector approval. The rule also prohibits the use of space or portable fuel-burning heaters in unvented, confined spaces, and requires that heating facilities be able to supply sufficient hot water for all lavatory and laundry fixtures.

Operators of service structures subject to Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-23 generally ensure that any non-conventionally heated building is outfitted with approved space heating equipment rated for the prescribed temperature differential. Compliant operators also verify that no portable or space fuel-burning heaters are placed in unvented or confined areas, and that the building's heating system can consistently deliver adequate hot water to every lavatory and laundry fixture. Securing Building Inspector approval for heating equipment before placing it in service is a standard step in maintaining compliance.
