Section 190-77 establishes a baseline entitlement to working plumbing fixtures—including a kitchen sink, toilet, bathtub or shower, and lavatory with both hot and cold water—in every dwelling unit in Newburgh. If any of these fixtures are absent, non-functional, or lack proper hot- or cold-water connections, that condition may constitute a code violation that tenants can report to the City of Newburgh's code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations in the area can provide general information about how to document conditions and what complaint or housing court processes may be available under this provision.
