Supplied facilities
Operative Text
Every owner of a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house and rooming unit shall be responsible for keeping supplied facilities in proper operating condition.

'Supplied facilities' refers to systems and equipment provided as part of the rental premises. The rule establishes that operational upkeep of these facilities is an owner obligation, not a tenant one.

Section 12-117 of Tuckahoe's Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to expect that supplied facilities in their dwelling or rooming unit will be kept in proper operating condition by the owner. If a supplied facility falls into disrepair, tenants may consider notifying the owner in writing, contacting the local code enforcement or housing office, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Documenting the condition of the facility and any communications with the owner can be relevant if a formal complaint or proceeding arises.
