BILL NUMBER: S1645                REVISED MEMO 05/10/2019
to requiring that a homeowner be provided a cost estimate for installa-
tion of a fire sprinkler system
To increase the safety of newly constructed homes by providing homeown-
ers the information with which to make a decision regarding installation
of a fire sprinkler system.
Section 1. amends the general business law by adding a new section 759-b
which provides that all estimates for new private one-family and two-fa-
mily homes shall include a cost estimate for a fire sprinkler system.
Fire Sprinkler systems are an effective device; in the event of a fire
they reduce its spread, and as a result overall damage. Currently in New
York State, many structures such as commercial buildings and multi-fami-
ly homes are required to install such devices. However, regarding single
family and two family homes a fire sprinkler system is not required, and
often not considered by prospective home owners.  This bill will provide
prospective homeowners who are planning new construction with a cost
estimate for installation of a fire sprinkler systems as a means to
encourage additional fire safety in their home.
