Utica's Fire Prevention chapter requires all LP-gas (propane) equipment in the city to be installed by a qualified agency and approved by Codes Enforcement and the Bureau of Fire Prevention. Cylinder storage and use also follow the NY Fire Code.
Under the City of Utica Fire Prevention and Protection code, all LP-gas-burning equipment installed, maintained, or used in the city must be installed by a qualified installing agency and is subject to approval by the Department of Codes Enforcement and the Bureau of Fire Prevention. Statewide, the Fire Code of New York State (Chapter 61 and NFPA 58) governs the storage, handling, and use of liquefied petroleum gas, including limits on cylinder size and quantity kept indoors, clearances from ignition sources, and proper securing of tanks. For typical homeowner grill cylinders (20 lb), tanks should be stored outdoors, upright, and away from building openings. Contact Utica's Bureau of Fire Prevention for permit thresholds.
Non-approved LP-gas installations violate the city Fire Prevention code and are subject to Codes Enforcement and Bureau of Fire Prevention action.
