The rule requires that gas piping remain leak-free, adequately supply connected appliances, and include accessible shutoff mechanisms both inside and outside the building. It also governs the placement of meters, regulators, and pressure-relief devices, and restricts how liquefied petroleum gas may be stored and conveyed on a property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 245 § 245-160, compliant property operators generally ensure that all fuel-gas piping is regularly inspected and maintained in a gastight condition, that shutoff valves are accessible and functional both inside and outside the structure, and that meters, regulators, and pressure-relief devices are positioned to avoid damage. Gas appliances such as refrigerators and ranges are typically installed with adequate ventilation clearance and kept in good working order. Operators also ensure that liquefied petroleum gas containers are properly designed, stored, and sited so they do not pose a hazard to the building or neighboring properties.

Ch. 245 § 245-160 gives occupants a basis to expect that fuel-gas systems in their building are maintained in a safe, gastight, and fully operational condition, including accessible shutoff valves and properly placed safety devices. If a tenant observes signs of a gas leak, a missing or inoperable shutoff, or improperly stored LP gas containers, these conditions may constitute a code violation that can be reported to the local building or housing enforcement office in Sleepy Hollow. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how to document such conditions and what local complaint or inspection processes may be available.
