Under ch. 321 § 321-36, property owners and managers are generally expected to supply each dwelling unit with functioning cooking and refrigeration equipment at the outset of a tenancy and to keep that equipment in good operating condition throughout. Operators of units with gas-burning cooking appliances typically ensure those appliances are permanently fastened and that all gas-supply connections use solid metal pipe or tubing rather than flexible or non-metal alternatives. Where solid fuel-burning cooking equipment is present, compliant operators ensure appropriate venting is installed and maintained.
