Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 § 158-44 establishes baseline standards for cooking equipment in every dwelling unit. Each unit must have appropriate cooking equipment kept in good working order, gas-burning appliances must be permanently secured and connected via metal pipe or tubing, and solid-fuel-burning appliances must be properly ventilated. These requirements apply regardless of the type of fuel used and are intended to ensure safe, functional cooking facilities in residential spaces.

Under Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 § 158-44, compliant property operators ensure that every dwelling unit contains appropriate cooking equipment that is maintained in good operating condition at all times. For gas-burning appliances, operators typically verify that units are permanently fastened, connected in place, and that all gas supply lines use metal pipe or tubing rather than flexible non-metal connectors. Where solid-fuel-burning cooking equipment is present, operators generally confirm that adequate ventilation is in place and functioning before a unit is occupied or re-rented.
