Plumbing fixtures; water and waste pipes
Operative Text
Every plumbing fixture and water and waste pipe shall be properly installed and maintained in good sanitary working condition, free from defects, leaks and obstructions, in compliance with Village, county and state codes.
Section 166-36 of Johnson City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 166 establishes that all plumbing fixtures, water pipes, and waste pipes in a dwelling must be properly installed and kept in good sanitary working order. The rule prohibits defects, leaks, and obstructions, and requires that all such systems meet applicable Village, county, and state codes. This standard applies on an ongoing basis, not just at the time of initial installation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 166-36, compliant property operators routinely inspect plumbing fixtures, water supply lines, and waste pipes to confirm they are free from leaks, defects, and blockages. Maintenance records documenting repairs and inspections can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with Village, county, and state plumbing codes. Addressing reported plumbing issues promptly is consistent with the continuous good-condition standard the provision establishes.
