Larchmont, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 215-24
Cooking
Operative Text
No occupant shall cook in any dwelling unit except where all the required sanitary facilities are installed as required.
Section 215-24 of Larchmont's Code of Ordinances prohibits cooking in any dwelling unit unless all required sanitary facilities have been properly installed. The rule ties the lawful use of a unit for cooking to the presence of code-compliant sanitary infrastructure. A dwelling unit that lacks the required sanitary installations is not permitted to be used for cooking under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Larchmont Code § 215-24, operators of rental properties are expected to ensure that all required sanitary facilities are fully installed and code-compliant before a unit is occupied and used for cooking. Compliant property managers typically document the installation and condition of sanitary facilities as part of unit readiness inspections. Allowing occupants to cook in a unit that lacks the required sanitary infrastructure would place the property out of compliance with this provision.

Section 215-24 of the Larchmont Code of Ordinances establishes that cooking is only permitted in a dwelling unit where all required sanitary facilities are in place, which reflects a baseline habitability standard tied to sanitary conditions. If a tenant believes their unit lacks the required sanitary facilities, they may consider documenting the deficiency and reaching out to the local code enforcement or housing authority in Larchmont. Tenant-rights organizations can also help occupants understand what sanitary facilities are considered 'required' under local code and what options may be available when a unit falls short.
