A laundry receptacle outlet shall not be required in each dwelling unit of a multifamily building, if laundry facilities are provided on the premises for all building occupants.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Optional

Answer: (A)

Centralized laundry facilities in multifamily buildings can satisfy the laundry receptacle requirement. When laundry facilities are provided on the premises for all building occupants, there is no obligation to install a dedicated laundry receptacle outlet in each dwelling unit. This arrangement matches how central laundries serve multiple units and avoids duplicating outlets. Other general receptacle requirements for dwelling units still apply, but the per-unit laundry outlet isn't required if a common facility is available to everyone.
