Hi all...need some guidance. We are a 15-unit condo. We have reminded people to make sure their carbon monoxide alarms are working. We have indicated that it's a law for unit owners to have an alarm. But, we are unclear about the registration requirements. Are individual unit owners required to submit a form to the city that indicates they have an alarm and are thus in compliance with the law? Or does the Board of Managers register for all of the units? Or, is this a requirement for condos at all? Thanks.
Join the Conversation Comments (1)Thank you again for your response...my board president seems to understand the ruling differently...that condo owners only need to put in a detector if they rent out the unit. I don't read it that way. I read it the way you say. My other question is how does a board of managers enforce this law? How do we make sure everyone is compliant.
The best way of approaching this, is to simply have the super install the detectors at the buildings expense. For less than $300: you have apartments that are compliant, you end up with happy residents, and a much safer building.
