   (b)   It shall be unlawful to install a gas-fueled space heater in a room occupied for sleeping purposes except when the space heater is so designed, installed and operated for it:
      (1)   Obtains combustion air directly from the outside of the building or through a duct leading to the outside.
      (2)   It vents directly to space outside of the building other than an inner court, or is connected through a flue or outlet pipe with an outside chimney which conforms with the requirements of Subchapter 15 of Chapter 1 of Title 27 of the Administrative Code (Building Code).  A flue in an existing brick chimney may be used if it is in good condition and tests show that it will provide adequate draft.
