Section 302. Storage of petroleum  


Latest version.
  • Crude petroleum, earth or rock oil, or
      any of its products, shall not be kept on sale or stored in any place or
      building within the corporate limits of any city in this  state,  except
      in  the  city  of  New  York, unless in detached and properly ventilated
      warehouses, the exterior walls  of  which  are  stone,  brick  or  iron,
      specially  adapted  to that purpose, with raised sills at least two feet
      high, or the ground floor of which is at least two feet below the  level
      of  the  street  or  adjoining  land,  so  as to effectually prevent the
      overflow of such substances beyond the premises where kept or stored.
        No part of such warehouses shall be occupied as  a  dwelling,  and  if
      less  than fifty feet from any adjacent building, such warehouse must be
      separated therefrom by a brick or stone wall at least ten feet in height
      and sixteen inches thick.
        None of such articles shall be  allowed  to  remain  on  the  sidewalk
      beyond  the  front  line of any building or in the street, a longer time
      than is actually necessary for the storage, shipment or delivery of  the
      same, nor after sunset.
