Babylon Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 199 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 199-37
Heat-producing equipment
Operative Text
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.
Section 199-37 of Babylon Village's Code of Ordinances establishes a performance standard for heat-producing equipment installed near combustible materials. The rule requires that the placement, insulation, clearance, and controls of such equipment be configured so that the surface temperature of any adjacent combustible material stays within a safe range. The provision does not specify a fixed numeric temperature limit; instead, it sets a general safety outcome that must be achieved regardless of the equipment type or installation method.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 199-37 of Babylon Village Code ch. 199, property owners and managers who install or maintain heat-producing equipment near combustible materials are generally expected to ensure that location, insulation, clearance, and controls collectively prevent unsafe surface temperatures on those materials. Compliant operators typically document equipment specifications, follow manufacturer clearance guidelines, and schedule routine inspections to verify that installed configurations continue to meet the safety standard over time. Keeping records of installation details and any maintenance performed can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
