Glen Cove enforces the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, which requires hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms in all new construction and battery-operated/10-year alarms in existing dwellings, plus carbon-monoxide detectors near every sleeping area under Amanda's Law.
Chapter 147 incorporates the NYS Uniform Fire Code, which mirrors NFPA 72 placement: a smoke alarm in every sleeping room, outside each sleeping area, and on every level (including basements). New York's 'Amanda's Law' (Executive Law § 378) requires a CO alarm within 15 feet of every sleeping area in any dwelling with fuel-burning appliances or an attached garage. As of April 1, 2019, all replacement smoke alarms sold in NY must be sealed 10-year battery units. Rental and certificate-of-occupancy inspections in Glen Cove check both smoke and CO compliance.
Failure to install or maintain required detectors is enforceable under both Chapter 147 (Glen Cove) and NY Executive Law § 378, with fines starting around $250 and rising for repeat violations. Landlords face elevated penalties under Chapter 168.
