Plumbing
Operative Text
A. Plumbing fixtures, equipment and systems shall be maintained in a sanitary and serviceable condition. B. Plumbing fixtures, equipment and systems shall be maintained so as not to weaken structural members, nor cause damage or deterioration to any part of the building through fixture usage.
Babylon Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 199 § 199-23 establishes that all plumbing fixtures, equipment, and systems in a building must be kept clean, functional, and in good repair. Beyond basic sanitation, the rule also requires that plumbing be maintained in a way that does not compromise the structural integrity of the building or cause deterioration to any part of it. In other words, neglected or leaking plumbing that damages walls, floors, or structural members would constitute a violation of this provision.
