Are all your apt units built over garages or connected to a garage in multistory buildings being told to install carbon monoxide detectors? Also years back the co-op installed a smoke detector in one hallway in every apartment.
this month we received a letter stating that we had to install a smoke detector inside every bedroom and outside every sleeping quarter in accordance with NYS law, it said this was the residential code of NYS and fire code of NYS. The co-op installed the first one, and now is saying it is now the share owners responsibility. I bought two new smoke and a CO detector long before i got this letter. I know this building would go fast, had a FF tell me that. Knew a whole family that got killed thanksgiving weekend due to a clogged flue in their Pocono country house. However I still cant see how CO could get up 6 floors , i know the areas by the radiator pipes it could, i sealed all mine off for proactive pest control, the keyhole on the interior closet door frames have a pretty powerful breeze coming out of it, it must be from the roof. On a windy day i can really feel it, i am going to seal that off too. weird though, don' t remember that breeze for the first twenty years here. I am on the 6th floor the garage is under the first floor. If i lived on the first floor i would have had a CO years ago
On the form we have to sign and initial all kinds of stuff, that we agree to test it once a month,They don't check the smoke detectors in the hallway once a month and during blackouts, many of the emergency lights don't work. i guess i will check all the emergency lights and when i return the papers give them a list of the emergency lights that fail the self test. people complained about that at Junes annual meeting, see if they did anything yet. New batteries are needed and spares should be on standby.
