Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-34
Open fires
Operative Text
No open fires shall be permitted except in facilities intended for such purposes.
Section 106-34 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances prohibits open fires throughout the jurisdiction, with the sole exception being fires set in facilities that are specifically designed or designated for that purpose. The rule draws a clear line between uncontrolled or informal burning and the use of proper fire-containment structures or designated areas. This applies broadly and is not limited to any particular type of property or land use.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fishkill Code § 106-34, property owners and managers generally ensure that no open burning takes place on their premises unless a purpose-built facility—such as a fire pit, outdoor fireplace, or similarly designated structure—is present and used as intended. Compliant operators typically communicate this restriction to tenants and guests and take steps to prevent informal burning on common areas or rental lots. Maintaining documentation of any approved fire facilities on the property is a practice consistent with this provision.

Section 106-34 of the Fishkill Code of Ordinances means that tenants do not have the right to set open fires on rental property unless a facility specifically intended for that use is available and being used properly. If a landlord's property conditions encourage or fail to address prohibited open burning, tenants may wish to note the relevant code section when raising the concern with local code enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Fishkill's municipal code can help residents understand how this provision interacts with their lease and broader housing obligations.
