April eighteenth, nineteen hundred twenty-nine, and for all dwellings

erected after January first, nineteen hundred fifty-one, such supply

shall include both hot and cold water at all times of the year, during

all hours, except that hot water service shall not be required by this

section in a dwelling erected before April eighteenth, nineteen hundred

twenty-nine, if the owner establishes to the satisfaction of the

department that such service was not furnished or required before such

date.

4. No multiple dwelling shall be erected unless it is connected with a

street service water main.

5. No required sink shall be placed within any water-closet
