These resources support the general information on this site. They do not replace current written guidance from the responsible agency or a qualified professional. The exact approvals required depend on the tank and work.
Review the live source before relying on a regulatory detail or timing requirement. The links below are agency resources rather than endorsements of this referral website.
New York City Fire Department
The FDNY Fire Code Guide discusses removing fuel-oil tank systems from service and points to applicable Fire Code and FDNY rules. Ask the licensed professional to confirm current provisions for the property.
New York City permits and records
NYC311 publishes information about FDNY permits and inspections and separate fuel-oil tank installation permits. An installation record may be different from the records requested after a tank is removed.
New York State petroleum spill response
NYSDEC explains reporting rules and the statewide petroleum spill hotline. The reporting and remediation information is distinct from ordinary disposal of a sound storage tank.
Editorial policy
Where a homeowner issue depends on current municipal procedures, utility program terms or financial eligibility, confirm those facts at the source. We do not publish invented removal prices, licenses or grant promises.
