Carbon Monoxide Detecting Devices
§27-981.1 Definitions. For the purpose of this article: a. "Fossil fuel" shall mean coal, kerosene, oil, wood, fuel gases and other petroleum products.
§27-981.2 Carbon monoxide detecting devices; where required. a. Every dwelling unit in a building within occupancy groups J-1, J-2 or J-3 where a fossil fuel-burning furnace or boiler is located, and every dwelling unit in a building that is in close proximity to a source of carbon monoxide, as such proximity is established by the rules promulgated by the commissioner in consultation with the fire department and the department of health and mental hygiene, shall be equipped with an operational carbon monoxide detecting device approved in accordance with the rules promulgated by the commissioner in consultation with the fire department and the department of health and mental hygiene, provided that there shall be installed at least one approved and operational carbon monoxide detecting device within fifteen feet of each room lawfully used for sleeping purposes. Such carbon monoxide detecting device may be combined with a smoke detecting device that complies with the provisions of this title and any applicable rules promulgated thereunder.
c. The provisions of this article shall apply retroactively to every building, in accordance with the provisions of subdivision a or subdivision b of this section, irrespective of when such building was constructed or a certificate of occupancy for such building was issued.
d. The provisions of this article may be enforced by the department, the fire department, the department of health and mental hygiene and the department of housing preservation and development.
§27-981.3 General requirements for carbon monoxide detecting devices. All carbon monoxide detecting devices required to be provided and installed pursuant to this article shall be of a type authorized by rules promulgated by the commissioner.
§2. Article eleven of subchapter two of chapter two of title twenty-seven of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding new sections 27-2046.1 and 27-2046.2 to read as follows:
§27-2046.1. Duties of owner and occupant with respect to installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide detecting devices in class A multiple dwellings and private dwellings. a. As used in paragraphs two through six of subdivision b of this section, the term "private dwelling" shall mean a dwelling unit in a one-family or two-family home which is occupied by a person or persons other than the owner of such unit or the owner's family.
b. It shall be the duty of the owner of a class A multiple dwelling and a private dwelling which is required to be equipped with one or more carbon monoxide detecting devices pursuant to article seven of subchapter seventeen of chapter one of this title to:
(1) provide and install one or more approved and operational carbon monoxide detecting devices in each dwelling unit;
(2) post a notice in a form approved by the commissioner in a common area of a Class A multiple dwelling and otherwise provide such notice to the occupants of a private dwelling informing the occupants of such dwelling that the owner is required by law to install one or more approved and operational carbon monoxide detecting devices in each dwelling unit in the dwelling, provided that an owner may choose to post or otherwise provide a single notice that complies with this provision as well as the provisions of paragraph two of subdivision a of section 27-2045 of this article;
(5) provide written information regarding the testing and maintenance of carbon monoxide detecting devices to at least one adult occupant of each dwelling unit including, but not limited to, general information concerning carbon monoxide poisoning and what to do if a carbon monoxide detecting device goes off.

Such occupant shall have one year from the date of installation to make such reimbursement.

It shall be the duty of the owner of a class B multiple dwelling which is required to be equipped with one or more carbon monoxide detecting devices pursuant to article seven of subchapter seventeen of chapter one of this title to:
(2) keep and maintain carbon monoxide detecting devices in good repair;
(4) keep such records as the commissioner shall prescribe relating to the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide detecting devices in the building and make such records available to the commissioner upon request.
§3. This local law shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have been enacted into law, except that no later than forty-five days prior to such date, the commissioner of buildings and the commissioner of housing preservation and development, in consultation with the commissioner of health and mental hygiene and the fire commissioner, as is required by such law, shall take all actions necessary for its implementation, including the promulgation of rules.
