Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-24
Water supply
Operative Text
A. Potable water from an approved source shall be available at all times in residential buildings and buildings of mixed occupancy. The domestic water supply system of the building shall be connected to such approved source and shall not be subject to contamination. When supplied from a public source, the potable water supply system shall not be connected to private or unsafe water supplies. B. Water supply systems shall be installed and maintained so as to provide at all times a supply of water to plumbing fixtures, devices and appurtenances in sufficient volume and at pressures adequate to enable them to function satisfactorily and without undue noise under all normal conditions of use. C. Water supply systems shall be installed and maintained so that water used for purposes of cooling or heating shall not be reintroduced into the domestic water supply system nor be distributed through such equipment to plumbing fixtures. D. Hot-water supply systems shall be provided with safety devices arranged to relieve hazardous pressures and excessive temperatures.
Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-24 establishes baseline standards for water supply in residential and mixed-occupancy buildings. It requires that safe, potable water from an approved source be continuously available, that the supply system maintain adequate pressure and volume for all plumbing fixtures without undue noise, and that water used for heating or cooling never be reintroduced into the drinking water supply. Hot-water systems must also include safety devices to guard against dangerous pressure and temperature levels.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 124-24, compliant building operators maintain an uninterrupted connection to an approved potable water source and ensure that private or unsafe supplies are never cross-connected with the public system. Operators routinely inspect and service water supply systems to confirm adequate pressure and volume at all fixtures, verify that heating and cooling water circuits are fully isolated from the domestic supply, and confirm that hot-water systems are equipped with functioning pressure- and temperature-relief devices. Keeping maintenance records and scheduling periodic plumbing inspections are practices commonly associated with meeting these ongoing obligations.

Section 124-24 of the Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances gives occupants of residential and mixed-occupancy buildings the right to a continuous supply of safe, adequately pressured potable water, as well as protection from cross-contamination between the domestic water supply and heating or cooling systems. If a tenant experiences persistent low water pressure, discolored water, unusual noise from plumbing, or concerns about water safety, these conditions may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants can document the issue in writing, notify the landlord or building manager, and contact the appropriate Great Neck Plaza municipal code enforcement office; tenant-rights organizations can also help identify available complaint and enforcement pathways.
