All such facilities shall be so located within the dwelling as to be reasonably accessible from a common hall or passageway to all persons sharing these facilities. Every lavatory basin and bathtub or shower shall be supplied with hot water at all times. No such facilities shall be located in a basement except by written approval of the Housing Inspector.
