§ 12-09.2 Form for Notices for Natural Gas Detecting Devices.
RCNY § 12-09.2
A sample notice as required by 28 RCNY § 12-09.1(f) follows: NOTICEThe law requires the owner of the premises to install one or more natural gas alarms in this building. The natural gas alarm must be placed within 10 feet but not closer than 3 feet of each gas burning appliance. The natural gas alarm must be installed on the ceiling or wall not further than 12 inches below the ceiling. Where the existing space does not allow for installation at least 3 feet from a fuel-gas burning appliance, or the manufacturer’s instructions or NFPA 715-2023 require installation in a different location, alarm installations must be placed in accordance with the manufacturer’s or the NFPA 715 location requirements. Natural gas alarms must be installed in any area, both public and private, containing a natural gas appliance. Natural gas appliances include but are not limited to, stoves, gas dryers, hot water heaters, heating plants, etc. The natural gas alarm must be periodically replaced by the owner as necessary when the suggested useful life of the alarm expires. Tenants are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the alarms installed in their residence and for replacing any or all alarms that are stolen, removed, missing, or become inoperable during the occupancy of the residence, unless an alarm becomes inoperable within one year of being installed due to a manufacturing defect. The occupant of each residence in which a natural gas alarm is provided and installed must pay the owner $25 per alarm, or $50 per device where combined with a smoke detecting device or a carbon monoxide detecting device, or a maximum of $75 per device where a combined smoke, carbon monoxide, and natural gas detecting device is installed. This fee covers the cost of the work for the initial installation and each periodic replacement. The occupant has one year from the date of installation to pay the owner.
