(a) No person making, using, storing or having in charge, or under his control, any shavings, excelsior, rubbish, sacks, bags, litter, hay, straw, or combustible waste materials shall fail or neglect at the close of each day to cause all such material which is not compactly baled and stacked in an orderly manner to be removed from the building or stored in suitable vaults or in metal-lined, covered, receptacles or bins. The Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention shall require suitable baling presses to be installed in stores, apartment buildings, factories and similar places where accumulations of paper and waste materials are not removed at least every second day.
(b) In all multiple-family homes and apartments where storage is permitted in lockers or storage rooms, there shall be a clearance of at least eighteen inches between the top of material stored and the underside of the lowest beams, girders, sprinkler deflectors or other ceiling obstruction which might restrict the discharge of water from sprinklers, or fire hose streams over this material.
(c) In all multiple-family homes and apartments where individual furnace rooms are maintained, the storage of combustible materials, or flammable liquids is not permitted.
