General requirements
Operative Text
A. Plumbing, heating, electrical, ventilation, air-conditioning, refrigerating, cooking, fire protection and radiation protection equipment, elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators, buzzers, bells and communicators and other mechanical additions, installations or systems for the use of the building shall be maintained in proper working order. Such equipment shall be installed, located and maintained so that, under normal conditions of use, the equipment and systems will not be a danger to health or welfare, a danger because of structural defect or a source of ignition or a radiation hazard and will not create excessive noise or otherwise become a nuisance. Equipment and systems include, but are not limited to, apparatus, devices, fixtures, piping, pipe hangers, pipe covering, wiring, fittings and materials used as part of, or in connection with, such installations. B. Equipment and systems subject to damage from freezing shall be adequately protected from freezing. C. Moving parts of equipment which may be a potential hazard shall be guarded to protect against accidental contact.
Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-22 requires that a broad range of building systems — including plumbing, heating, electrical, ventilation, fire protection, elevators, and communication devices — be kept in proper working order at all times. Under this provision, all such equipment must be installed and maintained so that it poses no danger to health, structural integrity, or safety, and does not create excessive noise or other nuisances. Equipment vulnerable to freezing must be protected from it, and any moving parts that could cause injury must be guarded against accidental contact.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Great Neck Plaza Code ch. 124 § 124-22, compliant building operators routinely inspect and service all mechanical systems — from HVAC and plumbing to elevators and intercoms — to confirm they remain in proper working order. Operators generally document maintenance schedules, address repair needs promptly, and ensure that freeze-vulnerable systems are winterized and that hazardous moving parts are properly guarded. Keeping records of inspections and repairs supports a demonstrable pattern of compliance with the provision's broad equipment-maintenance standards.

Great Neck Plaza Code ch. 124 § 124-22 establishes a right for building occupants to have mechanical systems — including heating, plumbing, electrical, and fire-protection equipment — maintained safely and in working order. If a tenant observes equipment that is broken, noisy, potentially dangerous, or inadequately protected from freezing, general enforcement paths include notifying the landlord in writing, contacting the Great Neck Plaza building or code enforcement office, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Documenting the condition with photographs and written communications can be useful when pursuing any of these avenues.
