Operators and owners subject to § 124-33 of Huntington's housing code are generally expected to ensure that each dwelling unit contains its own complete set of required fixtures—bathtub or shower, lavatory, toilet, and kitchen sink—and that all are kept in sanitary, safe working condition. For rooming houses, compliant operators maintain the required ratio of shared facilities (one toilet, lavatory, and bathtub or shower per four rooming units), and hotel operators without private baths ensure one full set of fixtures per ten occupants with hallway access. Employee facilities, where applicable, must include at least one toilet, one lavatory, and a compliant drinking facility that is not located in a bathroom or toilet room.

Under § 124-33 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 124, tenants in dwelling units have a right to a private bathtub or shower, toilet, lavatory, and kitchen sink that are maintained in safe, sanitary condition. If any of these required fixtures are missing, broken, or unsanitary, that condition may constitute a housing code violation that tenants can report to the appropriate local code enforcement or housing authority in Huntington. Tenants may also wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to understand how a landlord's failure to maintain required facilities could be raised as a defense or basis for a complaint.
