All premises shall be provided with heating equipment capable of maintaining an indoor temperature in habitable spaces, kitchenettes, bathrooms and toilet rooms at 70° F. at a distance of three feet or more from exterior walls and at a level of five feet above the floor in all habitable spaces, kitchenettes, bathrooms and toilet rooms, when the outside temperature falls below 55° F. Such heat shall be maintained at all times when said outside temperature falls below 55° F. Hot water shall be furnished at a temperature range of 130° to 140° F. from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. In every building containing more than one dwelling unit, there shall be provided and maintained at all times a separate thermostatic control regulating the supply of heat to each and every dwelling unit in said premises.
Fuel-burning water heaters shall not be located in sleeping rooms, bathrooms or toilet rooms.
Fuel-burning equipment shall be permanently fastened and connected in place. Fuel supply connections to such equipment shall be made with pipe or tubing of solid metal.
Where heat-producing equipment is installed on or adjacent to combustible materials, the location, insulation, clearance and control of the equipment shall be such that the temperature on the surface of the combustible materials will not exceed a safe temperature.
Direct-fired heat-producing equipment and the enclosure in which it is located shall be provided with a supply of air adequate both for complete combustion at the rated gross output of the equipment and for the ventilation of the enclosure to prevent the accumulation of heat. Rooms containing fuel-burning equipment shall have such air supply provided by means of one or more openings to the exterior, or by means of fixed openings to interior spaces which open to the exterior.
Portable and/or liquid fuel-burning space heaters are prohibited in all premises.
A. 
Equipment for burning solid or liquid fuel shall be connected to suitable chimneys or flues and shall not be connected to gas vents. Unvented heaters burning liquid fuel are prohibited.
B. 
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 hazard.
A. 
Equipment capable of developing hazardous pressures or temperatures shall be provided with means to relieve safely such pressures and temperatures.
B. 
Controls for the safe operation of automatically operated heat-producing equipment shall be provided to function as follows:
(1) 
When failure or interruption of flame or ignition occurs, the fuel supply shall be cut off.
(2) 
When a predetermined temperature or pressure is exceeded, the input of additional heat shall be prevented or reduced to a safe rate.
(3) 
When the water level in a steam boiler drops below a predetermined level, the fuel supply shall be cut off.
(4) 
When the failure or interruption of a pilot light or main burner of liquefied petroleum gas equipment occurs, the fuel supply to each pilot light and main burner shall be cut off.
Fuel-burning equipment for garages servicing multiple dwellings shall be located in heater rooms, and equipment burning gas or liquid fuel shall not be located in the vehicle storage space.
A. 
Chimneys, flues, gas vents and their supports shall be installed and maintained so as to be structurally safe, durable, smoketight, noncombustible and capable of withstanding the action of flue gases without softening, cracking, corroding or spalling.
B. 
Such facilities shall effectively convey the products of combustion to the outer air.
C. 
Masonry chimneys, except approved prefabricated chimneys, shall have noncombustible foundations.
D. 
Flue linings shall be capable of withstanding the action of flue gas without softening, cracking, corroding or spalling at the temperature to which they will be subjected.
E. 
Openings for smoke pipe or gas vent connections shall be provided with means for easy connection without restriction of the flue.
F. 
No flue shall have smoke pipe or gas vent connections in more than one story of a building.
G. 
Fuel-burning equipment and fireplaces located in different tenancies shall not be connected to the same flue.
H. 
Chimneys, flues and gas vents shall be installed and maintained so that under conditions of use the temperature of any combustible material adjacent thereto, insulated therefrom or in contact therewith does not exceed a safe temperature.
A. 
Fuel oil shall be received, stored and conveyed by means of fixed liquid-tight equipment.
B. 
Fuel oil storage tanks shall be provided with a means for venting.
C. 
Automatically operated boilers and furnaces using fuel oil shall be provided with remote control to stop the flow of oil during a fire or other emergency.
D. 
Filling, emptying and venting of tanks shall be by means of fixed piping. Pipes to underground tanks shall be pitched toward tanks. Terminals of fill and vent pipes shall be located outside buildings at a safe distance from building openings.
[Added 5-28-1979 by L.L. No. 6-1979]
At all times, all rental and dwelling units to which this chapter applies shall be equipped with storm windows or thermal-pane-type windows on each and every window and storm doors on each and every door of said premises. Said storm doors and windows or thermal-pane-type windows shall at all times be installed, manufactured and maintained according to generally accepted standards.
