Under § 124-32, compliant property operators in Huntington actively maintain all plumbing facilities, installations, systems, and fixtures in accordance with Chapter 124's requirements. Owners and persons-in-charge are directly named as responsible parties, meaning that deferred maintenance or refusal to address plumbing deficiencies can result in a chapter violation. Operators generally conduct routine inspections and address deficiencies promptly to avoid being found in violation for permitting occupancy of a non-compliant structure.

Section 124-32 of Huntington's Code makes it unlawful for an owner to permit a tenant to occupy a structure whose plumbing does not meet the article's standards, which means tenants living with plumbing deficiencies may have grounds to raise a compliance issue. Tenants can document plumbing problems and report them to the appropriate Huntington municipal code enforcement authority, which has the power to find an owner in violation under this provision. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand what enforcement paths—such as filing a complaint or raising a violation as a defense in a housing proceeding—may be available under § 124-32.
