Cal. Civ. Code § 160
Water-closets
Operative Text
§ 160. Water-closets. Water-closet compartments in class B non-fireproof multiple dwellings shall comply with the applicable provisions of section seventy-six.
N.Y. Mult. Dwell. Law § 160 establishes that water-closet compartments located in Class B non-fireproof multiple dwellings must meet the standards set out in section 76 of the same law. In effect, this provision cross-references and incorporates those earlier requirements rather than restating them independently. The rule applies specifically to the building classification described—Class B non-fireproof multiple dwellings—and governs the physical conditions of toilet compartments within those structures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of Class B non-fireproof multiple dwellings should be aware that N.Y. Mult. Dwell. Law § 160 directs water-closet compartments to conform to the requirements found in section 76 of the Multiple Dwelling Law. Compliant building managers typically review both provisions together to ensure that toilet compartments meet all applicable construction, ventilation, and maintenance standards. Routine inspections and maintenance records that document compliance with both § 160 and the cross-referenced section 76 are practices commonly associated with well-managed properties of this type.

Under N.Y. Mult. Dwell. Law § 160, tenants residing in Class B non-fireproof multiple dwellings have an interest in knowing that their building's water-closet compartments are required to meet the standards incorporated by this provision. If a toilet compartment appears to fall short of those standards, tenants may have options such as raising the condition with their local housing or building code enforcement agency, noting the potential violation in any relevant housing court proceeding, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Reviewing both § 160 and the section 76 standards it references can help tenants understand what conditions are expected in their building.
