Great Neck, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 321 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 321-22
Plumbing systems
Operative Text
A. Plumbing systems shall be maintained in sanitary and serviceable condition. B. Plumbing systems shall be maintained so as not to weaken structural members nor cause damage or deterioration to any part of the building through fixture usage.
Great Neck Code of Ordinances Chapter 321, Section 321-22 establishes two baseline requirements for plumbing systems in residential buildings. First, all plumbing must be kept in a sanitary and functional state. Second, plumbing systems must be maintained in a way that prevents them from weakening structural components or causing damage or deterioration to any part of the building through ordinary fixture use.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 321-22, compliant property operators in Great Neck generally conduct routine inspections of plumbing systems to confirm they remain sanitary and fully operational. Operators also monitor for signs that plumbing fixtures or pipes may be stressing structural members or causing water damage, deterioration, or decay to any part of the building. Addressing leaks, corrosion, or drainage issues promptly is consistent with the ongoing maintenance standard this section establishes.

Section 321-22 of the Great Neck Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when plumbing systems are unsanitary, non-functional, or appear to be causing structural damage or deterioration to the building. Tenants who observe such conditions may document them in writing and notify their landlord, and may also contact the appropriate Great Neck municipal code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options are generally available when plumbing maintenance obligations are not being met.
