The first means of egress shall be an enclosed stair extending\ndirectly to a street, or to a yard, court or passageway affording\ncontinuous, safe and unobstructed access to a street, or by an enclosed\nstair leading to the entrance story, which story shall have direct\naccess to a street. That area of the dwelling immediately above the\nstreet level and commonly known as the main floor, where the occupants\nare registered and the usual business of the dwelling is conducted,\nshall be considered a part of the entrance story; and a required stair\nterminating at such main floor or its mezzanine shall be deemed to\nterminate at the entrance story.

Where it is impractical in such existing transient dwellings to\nprovide a second means of egress, the department may order, in lieu of\nthe second means of egress, additional alteration to the first means of\negress and to shafts, stairs and other vertical openings as the\ndepartment may deem necessary to safeguard the occupants of the\ndwelling, may require the public halls providing access to the first\nmeans of egress to be equipped on each story with an automatic sprinkler\nsystem, and, in non-fireproof dwellings, may also require automatic\nsprinkler heads in the stair which serves as the only means of egress.\n  5. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to require the enclosure of\na stair which is ornamental provided such stair does not connect more\nthan two stories.\n  6. A stair, fire-stair or fire-escape supplementary to the egress\nrequirements of subdivisions two, three and four of this section need\nnot lead to the entrance story or to a street, or to a yard or a court\nwhich leads to a street, provided the means of egress therefrom is\napproved by the department.\n  7.

In making a determination of where a student resides for the\npurposes of item (i) of subparagraph one hereof, the president may\nconsider such criteria as he deems appropriate.

In determining the amount of an\naward, the president may, in cases of unusual and exceptional family\ncircumstances warranting such action, recognize an existing condition\nwherein parental control has in effect been relinquished by the parents\nor others responsible for the applicant, and notwithstanding the\nprovisions of subdivision three of this section, the applicant has in\neffect been emancipated. Provided, however, that students who have\nqualified as an orphan, foster child, or ward of the court for the\npurposes of federal student financial aid programs authorized by Title\nIV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, shall not be\nconsidered emancipated for the purposes of determining an award pursuant\nto section six hundred sixty-seven of this article. The criteria used in\ndetermining these cases of unusual and exceptional family circumstances\nshall be established by the president with the approval of the board of\ntrustees and the director of the division of the budget.\n  5.

Legislative findings
Status: in_force

§ 15-0103. Legislative findings.\n  Article 15 shall be construed and administered in the light of the\nfollowing findings of fact:\n  1. The sovereign power to regulate and control the water resources of\nthis state ever since its establishment has been and now is vested\nexclusively in the state of New York, except to the extent of any\ndelegation of power to the United States;\n  2. New York State has been generously endowed with water resources\nwhich have contributed and continue to contribute greatly to the\nposition of preeminence attained by New York in population, agriculture,\ncommerce, trade, industry and outdoor recreation;\n  3. Adequate and suitable water for water supply, domestic, municipal,\nindustrial, agricultural and commercial uses, power, irrigation,\ntransportation, fire protection, sewage and waste assimilation, the\ngrowth of forests, maintenance of fish and wildlife, recreational\nenjoyment and other uses is essential to the health, safety and welfare\nof the people and economic growth and prosperity of the state;\n  4. In recent years our population growth and the development and use\nof new technology and processes have resulted in demands for more water\nand the equitable use thereof for these purposes;\n  5. In recent years recreational activities are making new and greater\ndemands on lakes and streams of the state for boating, fishing, bathing\nand water sports, and the lands adjacent thereto for campsites, access\nareas and public beaches;\n  6. The growth of cities and urban areas and their expansion into\nformerly rural areas has in many cases resulted in the filling in,\ndiversion and destruction of water courses, necessarily destroying\naquatic habitat and lessening supplies of water for multiple use\npurposes;\n  7. Increased motorized highway travel and public safety are requiring\nthe construction of new, better and larger public highways which may\nalter the water ways of the state and encroach upon water courses and\naffect their uses;\n  8. All fish, game, wildlife, shellfish, crustacea and protected\ninsects in the state, except those legally acquired and held in private\nownership, are owned by the state and held for the use and enjoyment of\nthe people of the state, and the state has a responsibility to preserve,\nprotect and conserve such terrestrial and aquatic resources from\ndestruction and damage and to promote their natural propagation;\n  9. The unreasonable, uncontrolled and unnecessary interference with or\ndefilement and disturbance of water courses create hazards to the\nhealth, safety and welfare of the people of the state causing great\neconomic loss by erosion of soil, increased costs of water purification\nand treatment, the loss of crop lands and forests by flooding, the\ndestruction and failure of natural propagation of fish and aquatic\nresources and the loss of water for domestic, industrial, navigational,\nmunicipal, agricultural, recreational and other beneficial uses and\npurposes;\n  10. The unreasonable and unregulated (a) interference with the\nchannels and beds of lakes and streams by construction of dams, roads\nand other structures, (b) alteration of water courses and gradients, (c)\nimpounding of water, (d) dredging and filling in of stream beds, and the\nunreasonable removal of sand, gravel or other materials from streams,\nand by other action, have resulted in pollution of such waters, increase\nin turbidity and the deposit of silt and debris, irregular variations of\nvelocity, temperature and levels of water, erosion of banks and uplands\nand the flooding of valuable lands;\n  11. The department, and two of its predecessors, the Water Resources\nCommission and the Water Pollution Control Board, has classified\nsubstantially all of the waters of the state;\n  12. The department, pursuant to title 11 of article 15 of the\nEnvironmental Conservation Law, is continuing the work of its\npredecessor, the Water Resources Commission in undertaking comprehensive\nplanning for the protection, conservation and development of the water\nresources of the state;\n  13. It is in the best interest of the state that provision be made for\nthe regulation and supervision of activities that deplete, defile,\ndamage or otherwise adversely affect the waters of the state and land\nresources associated therewith.\n
