    I have never heard of any amendments that NYC has to this.
    The NEC says <verbatim> a receptacle is required at any space 12" or more, within 24" of an end or beginning (such as a sink, range, etc), and every 48" between. All dimensions measured along the wall.

    This is a VERY basic explanation, so take it as such.
