Is PVC okay for Homes in 5 boros?

I did a variation of this post the other day and got a wide range of yes and no answers.
Some people replied strongly “Yes” and others strongly “No”. I went to the DOB website, but found it very difficult to navigate.

I was hoping that if I posted this request again that I could ask those responding to only do so if you have first hand knowledge of the “current” code for PVC use and if it is okay in single family homes in the 5 boros for plumbing.

Also, can waste lines be 3 inches or do they have to be 4 inches?

So please only respond if you are totally up to date. That way we can get the accurate answer for myself and the Brownstoner community.

Thanks again,
Leslie
