However, in a rooming house where rooms are let only to males, flush urinals may be substituted for not more than one-half the required water closets.
(b) 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 such facilities.

No such facilities shall be located in a cellar or basement except by written approval of the Housing Director. (Ord. 26-1962. Passed 5-7-62.)
