  relation to requiring radiator covers for any habitable and occupiable
  rooms

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 27-809 of the administrative code of  the  city  of
New York is amended to read as follows:
  S  27-809  Insulation  and clearances. All accessible piping AND RADI-

heit shall be insulated OR COVERED to prevent  the  temperature  at  the
outer  surface of the insulation from exceeding sixty degrees Fahrenheit

construction  shall include clearance and insulation adequate to satisfy
the requirements of section 27-792 of article one  of  this  subchapter.
Where  accessible piping carries a fluid not exceeding two hundred fifty

of the system, such piping may be uninsulated provided sufficient clear-
ance is maintained from the combustible construction so that the temper-
ature  limitation of section 27-792 of article one of this subchapter is
not exceeded, and all uninsulated piping shall be provided with at least
one-half inch clearance from combustible materials.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
it shall have become a law.
