Are tar kettles permitted to be utilized on the roof of buildings?
No. FC303.2.1 prohibits the use of tar kettles on the roof of any building, including buildings with combustible roofs. However, the Department has promulgated a new rule, 3 RCNY 3809-01, which under certain circumstances allows the use of LPG-fueled asphalt melters on the roofs of buildings that have noncombustible roofs.
