Heating facilities
Operative Text
Every dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house and rooming unit shall have heating facilities capable of maintaining, supplying or furnishing heat to the occupants thereof at the levels required by § 190-113 of this chapter.
Section 190-81 of Newburgh's housing code requires that all dwellings, dwelling units, rooming houses, and rooming units be equipped with heating facilities that can maintain the temperature levels specified in § 190-113 of the same chapter. The rule applies to every type of residential rental unit covered by the code, not just certain categories. It establishes a baseline equipment standard, meaning the heating system must be capable of meeting the required temperatures, not merely present in the unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 190-81, property owners and managers are generally expected to ensure that every dwelling and rooming unit they operate contains heating equipment that is functional and capable of reaching the temperature thresholds set out in § 190-113. Compliant operators typically inspect and service heating systems regularly to confirm they can perform at the required levels throughout the heating season. Maintaining documentation of inspections and repairs is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
