There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2012 New York Consolidated Laws
RPP - Real Property
Article 7A - (239 - 239-G) Portable Kerosene Heaters
239 - Legislative findings.
NY Real Prop L § 239 (2012) What's This?
§ 239. Legislative findings. The legislature recognizes that the ever-increasing cost of home heating has resulted in widespread consumer interest in the use of portable kerosene heaters. Because there is a wide variety of kerosene heaters, including different designs and intended purposes, the public interest requires that those heaters which are used in residential structures meet certain safety standards designed to insure that they are reasonably safe for that purpose. Accordingly, it is the intent of this article to protect the public by establishing standards which will permit the use of reasonably safe heaters in residential structures.
