Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-83
Cooking facilities
Operative Text
A. Required. Every dwelling unit shall be provided with installed cooking facilities or utility connection for such facilities. B. Space and connections. Where cooking facilities are not supplied, adequate space and utility connections shall be provided where such connections are necessary.
Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-83 establishes that every dwelling unit must have either installed cooking facilities or, at minimum, the utility connections and adequate space needed to accommodate them. The rule ensures that tenants have a functional means of preparing food within their unit, whether through equipment provided by the landlord or through infrastructure that allows them to install their own. Where no cooking appliances are supplied, the space and connections required to support such appliances must still be present.

Under ch. 190 § 190-83, compliant operators in Newburgh generally ensure that each dwelling unit either contains installed cooking equipment or is equipped with the appropriate utility hookups—such as gas or electrical connections—and sufficient physical space to support cooking facilities. Property managers conducting unit inspections or preparing units for occupancy typically verify that these baseline requirements are met before a tenant moves in. Maintaining documentation of installed facilities or available connections can help demonstrate compliance during any housing inspection.

Section 190-83 of the Newburgh Code of Ordinances gives tenants the right to a dwelling unit that includes either working cooking facilities or the space and utility connections necessary to support them. If a unit lacks both installed cooking equipment and the required connections or space, that condition may constitute a housing code violation that can be reported to the appropriate local housing or code enforcement authority in Newburgh. Tenants who believe this provision is not being met may also wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand the options available to them.
