Under Tuckahoe Code ch. 12 § 12-82, property owners and managers are generally expected to ensure that heating fuels — such as oil, propane, or similar materials — are stored in containers and locations that minimize fire, spill, and leak hazards. Compliant operators typically follow manufacturer guidelines, applicable fire codes, and local inspection requirements when selecting storage equipment and placement. Routine inspections of fuel storage areas help demonstrate ongoing adherence to the safe-storage standard this provision establishes.
