Syracuse, N.Y., Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27 § 27-54

(a) General requirements:
(1) In all occupied buildings, adequate heat shall be provided to maintain the indoor temperature in habitable, occupied and assembly spaces, kitchenettes, bathrooms and toilet rooms, at sixty-eight (68) degrees Fahrenheit at a distance of two (2) feet from exterior walls, and at a level of five (5) feet above the floor, from September fifteenth to May thirty-first of the following year when the outside temperature falls below fifty-five (55) degrees Fahrenheit.
(2) The capability of the heating equipment to maintain such indoor temperatures shall be based on an outside temperature of minus ten (10) degrees Fahrenheit.
(b) Exceptions:
(1) Processing, storage and operation areas that require cooling or special temperature conditions.
(2) Areas in which persons are primarily engaged in vigorous physical activities.
(c) Smoke control: Fuel burning heat producing equipment shall be installed and maintained so as not to violate the Syracuse Smoke and Air Pollution Control Ordinance.
(d) Warm air heating: Ducts and other air handling equipment used for heating shall conform to the requirements of generally accepted standards for such equipment.
(e) Prohibited locations for heat producing equipment: Fuel-burning water heaters shall not be located in sleeping rooms, bathrooms or toilet rooms.
(f) Fuel supply connection: Fuel-burning equipment shall be permanently fastened and connected in place. Fuel supply connection to such equipment shall be made with approved pipe or with an approved flexible tubing connector and be protected against mechanical injury and corrosion.
(g) Installation and clearance: Where heat producing equipment is installed on, or adjacent to, combustible materials, the location, insulation, clearance, and the control of the equipment shall be such that the temperature on the surface of the combustible materials will not exceed a safe temperature.
(h) Air supply:
(1) Direct-fired heat producing equipment and the enclosure in which it is located shall be provided with a supply of air adequate to replenish that consumed by complete combustion at the rated gross output of the equipment and for the ventilation of the enclosure to prevent the accumulation of heat.
(2) Such air shall be supplied by means of one (1) or more openings to the exterior, or by means of fixed openings to interior spaces which open to the exterior.
(i) Removal of products of combustion:
(1) Equipment for burning solids or liquid fuel shall be connected to suitable chimneys or flues and shall not be connected to gas vents. Unvented heaters burning liquid fuel shall be prohibited.
(2) Fuel-burning space heaters located in sleeping rooms or rooms normally kept closed shall be connected to a suitable chimney, flue or gas vent.
(3) Gas-fired equipment shall be connected to a suitable chimney, flue or gas vent when the discharge of products of combustion into the space where the equipment is installed would be a heard.
(j) Safety devices:
(1) Equipment capable of developing hazardous pressures or temperatures shall be provided with means to relieve safely such pressures and temperatures.
(2) Controls for the safe operation of automatically operated heat producing equipment shall be provided to function as follows:
a. When failure or interruption of flame or ignition occurs, the fuel supply shall be cut off;
b. When a predetermined temperature or pressure is exceeded, the input of additional heat shall be prevented or reduced to a safe rate;
c. When the water level in a steam boiler drops below a predetermined level, the fuel supply shall be cut off;
d. When failure or interruption of pilot light or main burner in gas equipment occurs, the fuel supply to each pilot light and main burner shall be cut off.
(k) Heating of garages: Fuel-burning equipment for garages serving multiple dwellings shall be located in heater rooms, except that equipment burning gas or liquid fuel, located in the vehicle storage space, shall be permitted in stories at or above grade where the equipment is elevated so as not to be exposed to possible accumulation of flammable gases.
