Section 27-61 of the Syracuse Revised General Ordinances requires that all fuel-burning equipment, storage facilities, and associated piping in residential properties meet the installation, use, and maintenance standards set by the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. The rule applies to the full lifecycle of such equipment—from initial installation through ongoing operation and upkeep. Any component of a fuel oil system that falls short of those state standards is considered non-compliant under this local provision.

For Property Managers

Under Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 6 § 27-61, compliant property operators ensure that all fuel-burning equipment, storage tanks, and piping are installed by qualified personnel in accordance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and are kept in proper working order through regular inspection and maintenance. Operators typically retain documentation of installations, inspections, and any repairs made to fuel oil systems. Staying current with any updates to the state code is a standard part of managing properties that rely on fuel oil heating systems.
