Concerns availability of fire escape mechanisms in residential dwellings; provides penalty for violation.

This bill requires residential buildings housing up to two households to install window-based fire escape mechanisms on each level above ground floor, defined as systems like anchor plates, hooks, and ropes for safe window egress during fires. It directly affects residential property owners and landlords who manage such properties. The law mandates these mechanisms in addition to existing smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, with enforcement through municipal inspections or fire code officials during occupancy changes. Violations of the escape mechanism requirement carry a penalty of up to $1,000.
