BILL NUMBER:S7677
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide detectors in restaurants and other commercial buildings
Purpose
This legislation would require the installation of carbon monoxide detecting devices in restaurants and other commercial buildings in New York City.
Summary of provisions
Section 27-981.2 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended to require the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide detecting device or devices in every building classified in occupancy groups F-1, F-3 and F-4.
The device or devices shall be installed and maintained in accordance with rules promulgated by the Commissioner in consultation with the fire department and the department of health and mental hygiene.
Justification
Recently, a carbon monoxide leak tragically killed a Long Island restaurant manager and sickened nearly 30 people. The carbon monoxide poisoning came from a malfunctioning water heater flue pipe in the basement of the establishment.
Under current New York City Administrative Code, every dwelling unit with occupancy groups J-1, J-2, J-3, G or H-2 must have a working carbon monoxide detecting device. The code does not apply to restaurants and other commercial buildings, F-1, F-3 and F-4.
This legislation would require the installation of carbon monoxide detecting devices in restaurants and commercial buildings in New York City.
