Operative Text
The owner of a dwelling shall properly maintain and keep in good repair the plumbing and drainage system, including water closets, toilets, sinks and other fixtures.
Cedarhurst, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 155 § 155-8 establishes that the owner of a dwelling bears responsibility for keeping the plumbing and drainage system—including water closets, toilets, sinks, and related fixtures—in proper working order and good repair. The rule places the maintenance obligation squarely on the property owner rather than the occupant. It covers the full scope of connected plumbing infrastructure, not just individual fixtures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Cedarhurst ch. 155 § 155-8, compliant property owners routinely inspect plumbing and drainage systems, address leaks or blockages promptly, and ensure that water closets, toilets, sinks, and other fixtures remain functional and in good repair. Keeping maintenance records and responding to reported plumbing issues in a timely manner are practices generally associated with meeting this standard. Deferred repairs to drainage or fixture components can place an owner out of compliance with this provision.
