Carbon Monoxide Detector Law

Board Meetings, Minutes, Financials 

Carbon Monoxide detectors are now mandatory state law-
On Friday, November 4, 2005, Governor Romney signed S. 2152 “Nicole’s Bill” into law. The law requires that every dwelling, building or structure including those owned by the Commonwealth, occupied in whole or in part for residential purposes and that (1) contain fossil fuel burning equipment or (2) incorporate closed parking within its structure, be equipped by the owner with approved carbon monoxide alarms in conformance with the requirements of the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations (BFPR). * Landlords must inspect, maintain, and replace, if necessary, required CO alarms at the beginning of any rental period. (you can read the rest on our smoke detector page)

Here's a link to the text summarizing the new carbon monoxide detector law. In order to be in compliance, every unit owner should install carbon monoxide detectors in his unit prior to March 31, 2006. - Randy S. http://www.gbreb.com/NovUpdate.htm
