New York State Requires Carbon Monoxide
Detectors - Effective Immediately
Effective immediately, New York executive law is amended by
adding a
new subdivision 5-a which states standards for installation of carbon
monoxide detectors requiring that everyone or two-family dwelling or
any
dwelling accommodation located in a building owned as a condominium
or
cooperative in the state, constructed or offered for sale shall have installed
an operable carbon monoxide detector.
Under Amanda’s Law, homes built before Jan. 1, 2008, are permitted
to have battery-powered CO alarms, while homes built after this date
are required to have the alarms hard-wired into the building.
Previously, only homes built or bought after July 30, 2002,
were required to have these devices installed.
Additionally, Amanda’s Law will require contractors in
New York State to install a CO alarm when replacing a hot water tank
or furnace if the home is not equipped with an alarm.
Also, Amanda’s law requires existing one and two-family residences
to have at least one carbon monoxide alarm installed on the lowest floor
of the building having a sleeping area. The alarm must be clearly audible
in all sleeping areas over background noise levels with all intervening doors closed.
