- In Class A Multiple Dwellings, install at least one detector within fifteen feet of the primary entrance to each room lawfully used for sleeping purposes.

- In one- and two-family homes (non-owner occupied units), at least one approved and operational detector within each dwelling unit, including at least one carbon monoxide detector within fifteen feet of the primary entrance to each room lawfully used for sleeping purposes.
Replace any carbon monoxide and smoke detector periodically upon the expiration of its useful life or when it has been stolen, removed, is missing, or rendered inoperable before a new tenant moves in if the prior tenant did not replace it.
- In Class A Multiple Dwellings, replace any detector within 30 days if it becomes inoperable within one year of installation due to a defect and no fault of the occupant.
Ensure that the installed carbon monoxide alarm is equipped with an end-of-life alarm.
When a carbon monoxide detector is installed, provide a notice to at least one adult occupant of each dwelling unit regarding the testing and maintenance of the detector, including general information concerning carbon monoxide poisoning and what to do if an alarm goes off, that carbon monoxide detectors have a useful life limitation, and that the owner has a duty to replace such alarms upon the expiration of such useful life.

Section of the Law: 28 RCNY § 12-12.1

The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) mandates specific signage for smoke detectors in residential buildings to ensure tenant safety. These signs, typically sized 8.5” 11”, must be posted near mailboxes or in common areas. The requirement stems from Local Law 153 of 2016, which aims to inform tenants about safety procedures and the presence of smoke detectors. Proper signage helps prevent fines and penalties for non-compliance and enhances building safety by ensuring residents are aware of emergency protocols

The specific dimensions for the HPD smoke detector notice are 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This sign is typically made of durable materials like metal, plastic, or decal and should be mounted securely in a common area such as near mailboxes. The lettering must be bold and at least three-sixteenths of an inch high to ensure legibility. The City of New York requires these signs to enhance safety awareness among residents, ensuring they are informed about the presence and importance of smoke detectors in preventing fire-related incidents
