That room must be properly ventilated per the Village's Building and Plumbing Codes, and the floor and cove base in bathing and toilet areas must be made of an impervious (non-porous) material.

Operators of residential buildings in Freeport should ensure that every dwelling unit contains the private toilet, lavatory basin, and bathing facilities required by § 128-18, with each facility connected to running water. The dedicated bathroom room must not serve any secondary purpose, must meet ventilation standards under the Village Building and/or Plumbing Code, and must have impervious flooring and cove base materials in bathing and toilet areas. Compliant operators typically document these conditions during routine inspections and address any deficiencies before a unit is occupied or re-rented.
