Under Patchogue Code § 238-36, compliant property operators ensure that neither portable nor liquid fuel-burning space heaters are present or in use anywhere on their premises. Landlords generally conduct periodic inspections to confirm that no such devices have been introduced by occupants, and address any violations promptly upon discovery. Lease agreements and tenant communications often reference this prohibition to make clear that such heaters are not permitted.

Section 238-36 prohibits portable and liquid fuel-burning space heaters in all premises in Patchogue, which means tenants are not permitted to use these devices in their units. If a landlord is supplying or requiring the use of such a heater as a primary heat source, that may raise a concern worth documenting and reporting to the appropriate local code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Patchogue housing rules can help residents understand how this provision interacts with a landlord's broader obligation to provide adequate heat.
