Propane storage in Westchester County is regulated under the New York Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code adopting NFPA 58 and IFC standards, enforced by local fire marshals and FDs.
The New York Uniform Code, found in 19 NYCRR Title 19, incorporates NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code and the International Fire Code. Westchester municipal fire marshals enforce these standards through inspections and permits. Residential properties may store small portable cylinders for grills, but larger tanks require setbacks of typically ten feet from buildings, ignition sources, and property lines. Tanks over 125 gallons require permits, and central storage rooms inside buildings require ventilation and labeling. Yonkers, White Plains, and other cities issue propane permits and inspect installations for compliance.
Improper propane storage can trigger fire marshal stop-work orders, fines from 250 to 5,000 dollars per violation, and immediate removal of unsafe tanks under NY Uniform Code.
