New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 7 § 13-155 establishes that all plumbing fixtures, pipes, chimneys, flues, smoke pipes, and other installed facilities or heating equipment in a dwelling must meet applicable local and state construction codes. Beyond initial installation, the rule requires that these systems remain in satisfactory working condition throughout their use. The provision applies to any facility required under the broader article, not just those voluntarily installed.

Under § 13-155, compliant property operators ensure that all plumbing, chimney, flue, and heating systems are installed according to local and state codes from the outset and are kept in satisfactory working order on an ongoing basis. Routine inspections and prompt repairs of pipes, fixtures, and heating apparatus are hallmarks of a property managed in conformance with this provision. Documented maintenance records can help demonstrate that equipment and utilities meet the standard the ordinance requires.
