North Collins Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-35 establishes construction and operational standards for incinerators in buildings.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to ch. 103 § 103-35 generally ensure that any incinerator on the premises is appropriately sized for its intended use, equipped with auxiliary fuel-burning capability, and connected to a noncombustible chimney or flue fitted with a spark arrester. Compliant operators also keep service openings accessible and maintain clearly legible, durable signage near those openings warning occupants not to dispose of highly flammable materials. Routine inspection of flue connections and passage clearance helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with these requirements.

Under North Collins Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-35, building occupants are entitled to incinerator service openings that are readily accessible and accompanied by posted warning signs about prohibited materials. If an incinerator appears to lack required safety features—such as a spark arrester, proper chimney connection, or required signage—tenants may consider documenting the condition and reporting it to the appropriate North Collins code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options may be available when building equipment does not appear to meet local code standards.
