NYC WINDOW GUARD LAW-New York City law (known as Health Code Section 131.15) requires landlords of buildings with three or more apartments to provide and install approved window guards on windows in an apartment where a child 10 years old or younger lives. Landlords must also install window guards in hallway windows.

Your building's owner or superintendent must:

·         Install window guards in your apartment if your building has more than three apartments, or if you request them.

·         Fix any window guards that need repair.

·         Install window guards in all public hallway windows if a child 10 or younger resides in the building.

Each year between January 1 and January 15, your building owner must give you an Annual Notice form -click to download (PDF) to complete indicating whether or not children 10 or younger live in the apartment, or if you want window guards for any reason. You must return the form to your landlord by February 15. You can also request window guards in writing at any time.

What NYC Building Owners Need to Know About Window Guards

For properties with three or more units, New York City law requires that building owners install and maintain window guards for apartments where a child age 10 years or younger lives. Every window in the apartment, except those leading to fire escapes, must have window guards. These metal or aluminum devices are designed to prevent children from falling out of windows. They are different from burglar bars.

Window guards and legal requirements

The law has several requirements:

Notices. When tenants sign a lease, the landlord must provide a window guard notice form within the first 30 days of occupancy. In addition, building owners must send an annual notice regarding window guards between January 1 and January 16. Tenants are required to complete and return the form to notify the landlord if a child age 10 years or younger lives in the apartment. These forms can also be used to request the guards for any other reason, such as to protect visiting children or for personal safety concerns.

Installation. Where required or requested, landlords must install window guards on every window in the apartment, even on the first floor, with the exception of windows leading to fire escapes. Window guards must be left off one window in each ground-floor apartment to allow use of the window as an emergency exit. In addition, all public hallway windows must have window guards for buildings with children age 10 years or younger.

Compliance. These metal guards must meet the requirements of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which has approved many types of these devices. Approved window guards are a minimum of 15 inches tall, with horizontal bars spaced 4.5 inches apart. The New York City Department of Health maintains a list of approved devices online. Guards and any other limiting devices should be appropriate to the window type (e.g., double hung, casement, sliding, etc.).

Building owners and landlords are responsible for installation and maintenance of these protective devices. For co-operative buildings, the responsibility remains with management. For owners in condominium buildings, the individual unit owners are responsible for installing and maintaining the guards. (Some condo managers do install them, but they’re still the owner’s responsibility.) Even in condo buildings, management is still responsible for guards in the hallway.
