Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-31
Fuel gas
Operative Text
A. General requirements. (1) Fuel gas piping systems shall be installed and maintained so as to remain gastight, safe and operative under conditions of use. (2) Fuel gas piping systems shall provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the maximum expected demand of the installed gas-burning appliances connected thereto. B. Shutoff valves. Gas piping systems shall have at least one accessible means for shutting off all gas supply, and such means shall be maintained in good operating condition and shall be clearly marked with a sign reading "Gas Shutoff." C. Service equipment for gas supplied from utility mains. Gas services, gas meters and gas pressure regulators shall be located so that they are protected from damage. In multiple dwellings, hotels and specialized senior housing facilities, gas meters shall be located in a fire-resistant room vented directly to the outside by a permanently installed louvered ventilator. There shall be no storage of materials or equipment in the gas meter room. D. Gas refrigerators and ranges. Gas refrigerators and ranges shall be installed with clearance for ventilation and shall be maintained in good operating condition. E. High-pressure gas. Any service connection supplying gas at a pressure in excess of one pound per square inch gage shall be provided with a device to reduce such pressure to not more than 1/2 pound per square inch gage prior to entering the meter, except where such service supplies equipment using gas at high pressures.
Great Neck Plaza Code ch. 124 § 124-31 establishes baseline safety standards for fuel gas systems in residential and other covered buildings. Gas piping must stay leak-free and capable of meeting peak appliance demand, shutoff valves must be accessible and clearly labeled, and meters must be housed in fire-resistant, ventilated rooms in multi-unit buildings. High-pressure gas connections above one pound per square inch must be reduced before reaching the meter, and appliances like ranges and refrigerators must have adequate clearance and be kept in working order.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Great Neck Plaza Code ch. 124 § 124-31 generally keep all fuel gas piping inspected and gastight, ensure shutoff valves are accessible and bear a clearly visible 'Gas Shutoff' sign, and maintain gas meters in dedicated fire-resistant rooms that are vented to the outside in multi-unit properties. Compliant operators also keep gas meter rooms free of stored materials and equipment, and verify that any high-pressure service connections include the required pressure-reducing device. Regular maintenance records for gas appliances, including ranges and refrigerators, typically reflect the ongoing good-operating-condition standard the provision requires.

Under Great Neck Plaza Code ch. 124 § 124-31, tenants in covered dwellings are entitled to fuel gas systems that are safe, leak-free, and properly equipped — including a labeled shutoff valve and, in multi-unit buildings, a properly ventilated meter room. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to fall short of these standards — such as an unlabeled or inaccessible shutoff, a cluttered meter room, or appliances lacking adequate clearance — they may report concerns to the local building or housing code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what documentation to gather and what local complaint processes may be available.
