Section of the Law: 28 RCNY § 12-01

he Smoke Detecting Devices Notice is a required posting for owners of Class A multiple dwellings under Section 28 RCNY § 12-01. Building owners must post this notice in a form approved by HPD (Housing Preservation and Development) in a common area—preferably near the mailboxes or the inspection certificate. The notice informs tenants that the owner is legally required to install approved and operational smoke detecting devices in each dwelling unit and to replace them at the end of their useful life. It also explains that tenants are responsible for maintaining the detectors during their occupancy and reimbursing the owner up to $25 for smoke-only devices or $50 for combination smoke and carbon monoxide devices within one year of installation. [CLICK HERE TO BUY]

Under Section 28 RCNY § 12-12.1, owners may instead choose to post a combined notice covering Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detecting Devices as well as Gas Leak Procedures. This combined notice provides comprehensive safety instructions in one posting, simplifying compliance for building owners and ensuring tenants are aware of multiple critical safety requirements. Owners of all multiple dwellings (Class A and Class B) and non-owner-occupied one- and two-family homes are obligated to provide, install, and maintain both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Placement requirements differ: in Class A units, detectors must be within fifteen feet of sleeping rooms; in Class B dwellings, a unit-wide or zoned system may be used; and in one- and two-family homes, at least one approved detector must be installed in each dwelling unit.

In addition, owners are required to replace detectors that are missing, defective, or past their useful life, ensure installed carbon monoxide alarms include an end-of-life signal, and provide tenants with safety instructions regarding testing, maintenance, and carbon monoxide poisoning response. Notices must meet HPD standards for durability, lettering, and visibility, and records of installation and maintenance must be kept and made available to HPD upon request. Together, § 12-01 and § 12-12.1 establish a strict but essential framework to protect tenants from fire and carbon monoxide hazards by ensuring clear communication, proper installation, and ongoing maintenance of life-saving detectors in New York City residences.
