Cal. Civ. Code § 200
Water-closets
Operative Text
§ 200. Water-closets. Water-closet compartments or bathrooms containing water-closets in converted multiple dwellings shall comply with the applicable provisions of section seventy-six.
Under N.Y. Mult. Dwell. Law § 200, water-closet compartments and bathrooms that contain water-closets in converted multiple dwellings are required to meet the standards set out in section seventy-six of the same law. This provision ties the requirements for toilet facilities in converted buildings to a separate, more detailed set of specifications. The rule applies specifically to the category of buildings classified as 'converted multiple dwellings,' rather than to all residential buildings under the statute.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of converted multiple dwellings subject to N.Y. Mult. Dwell. Law § 200 generally ensure that every water-closet compartment and bathroom containing a water-closet meets the cross-referenced requirements of section seventy-six. Compliant property managers typically review both provisions together, since § 200 functions as a bridge rule that incorporates the detailed dimensional, ventilation, and fixture standards found in the referenced section. Routine inspections of these facilities help confirm that the building's toilet accommodations remain in conformance with both provisions.

Tenants living in converted multiple dwellings have an interest in knowing that N.Y. Mult. Dwell. Law § 200 requires their building's water-closet compartments and bathrooms to meet the standards of section seventy-six. If a water-closet facility appears to fall short of those standards—such as through inadequate ventilation, improper dimensions, or fixture deficiencies—tenants may have grounds to raise a violation through a complaint to the local housing or building code enforcement agency. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what section seventy-six requires and what general options exist for addressing potential non-compliance under § 200.
