Certain types of space heaters prohibited
Operative Text
Portable kerosene and portable liquid-fuel-burning space heaters are hereby prohibited.
Section 158-34 of Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 158 establishes a flat prohibition on two categories of heating devices: portable kerosene space heaters and portable liquid-fuel-burning space heaters. The rule does not create exceptions or conditions — these devices are simply not permitted within the jurisdiction. This applies regardless of the type of dwelling or the reason the heater might be used.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 158-34 of the Evans Code of Ordinances, compliant property operators ensure that neither portable kerosene nor portable liquid-fuel-burning space heaters are present or permitted in their rental units or common areas. Landlords generally conduct periodic inspections and communicate clearly to tenants that these devices are banned under local code. Lease agreements and house rules often reflect this prohibition to reinforce awareness among occupants.
