Property owners and managers operating residential units in Tuckahoe must ensure that each unit contains all four fixtures specified in ch. 12 § 12-63 — kitchen sink, toilet, bathtub or shower, and lavatory — and that the applicable fixtures are plumbed for both hot and cold water. Compliant operators routinely inspect plumbing connections to confirm that hot and cold water supply lines are properly functioning and that no fixture is missing or disconnected. Maintaining documentation of plumbing inspections and repairs can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Section 12-63 of Tuckahoe's Code of Ordinances gives residential tenants the right to a dwelling unit equipped with a kitchen sink, toilet, bathtub or shower, and lavatory, all properly connected to hot and cold water where required. If any of these fixtures are absent, broken, or lacking proper hot or cold water connections, that condition may constitute a violation of this provision.
