New Hyde Park Code of Ordinances ch. 139 § 139-24 establishes baseline water supply standards for all dwellings. Every dwelling must have a potable water supply that reaches all required plumbing fixtures at adequate volume and pressure, operating without undue noise. Each dwelling unit must have at least one kitchen sink kept in good, clean working order, and every required kitchen sink, lavatory, bathtub, or shower must have both hot and cold running water connected to a potable supply.

Under ch. 139 § 139-24, compliant property operators ensure that every dwelling unit's plumbing system delivers potable water at sufficient pressure and volume to all required fixtures without excessive noise. Operators routinely inspect and maintain kitchen sinks, lavatories, bathtubs, and showers to confirm that both hot and cold water connections remain functional and clean. Keeping maintenance records and addressing plumbing deficiencies promptly are practices generally associated with meeting the standards set out in this section.

Section 139-24 of the New Hyde Park Code of Ordinances gives occupants the right to a functioning potable water supply — including both hot and cold water — at every required sink, lavatory, bathtub, or shower in their dwelling unit. If a kitchen sink is missing, non-functional, or lacks hot or cold water, that condition may constitute a code violation that can be reported to the appropriate local housing or code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how to document conditions and what complaint or defense options may be available under this provision.
