N.Y. General Business Law § 302: Storage of petroleum

§ 302. Storage of petroleum. 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.
