The capability of the heating equipment to maintain such indoor temperatures shall be based on an outside temperature of -10º F.
B. 
Except as otherwise mandated by federal law or regulation, in multiple dwellings, adequate heat shall be provided to maintain the indoor temperature in habitable spaces, kitchenettes, bathrooms and toilet rooms at 68º F. from September 1 to June 30 of the following year when the outside temperature falls below 55º F.
Fuel-burning heat-producing equipment shall be installed and maintained so as not to violate the Fire Prevention Code in force in the City.
Ducts and other air-handling equipment used for heating shall conform to the requirements of such equipment used for ventilating purposes.
Fuel-burning water heaters shall not be located in sleeping rooms, bathrooms or toilet rooms.

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 boils below a predetermined level, the fuel supply shall be cut off.
(4) 
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.
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 garage 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.
