A 5730 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Requires the installation of smoke detectors in common places of certain dwellings

This bill mandates the installation of working smoke detectors in shared areas of multi-unit buildings and condominiums across the state. It specifically requires these alarms to be placed in common spaces like hallways, lobbies, and stairwells where the sound is audible to all residents. The law also updates rules for property transfers, ensuring that sellers provide an affidavit confirming compliance when selling a home or apartment. Additionally, the bill clarifies that failing to install these detectors does not void property warranties or insurance claims.
