New Smoke Detectors Rules

Take Effect April 5th, 2010

 

REALTORS®, be sure to make note of the Commonwealth’s new smoke detector regulations which take effect on April 5, 2010.  The regulations govern the installation of smoke detectors in single family homes and multi-family residential buildings under 70 ft. tall and containing five or fewer units which have not been constructed, altered or modified since January 1, 1975.

Essentially, the soon to be implemented regulations change the types of technologies that must be employed by detectors in affected properties.  Specifically, owners must now install smoke detectors utilizing both ionization and photoelectric technologies in all places that they were previously required, EXCEPT within 20 feet of a kitchen or a bathroom containing a bathtub or shower.  Within 20 feet of a kitchen or bathroom containing a bathtub or shower, ONLY a photoelectric smoke detector is allowed. 

For more information of the smoke detector regulations, we have posted a set of Frequently Asked Questions on gbreb.com and a webinar on the new rules also is available for viewing on marealtor.com.  GBREB also will be presenting a seminar on the smoke detector rules in conjunction with the State Fire Marshall’s Office which is scheduled for March 25, from 10 – 11 a.m., in Waltham.  To register, call GBREB at 617-423-8700 or download the registration form.  Finally, for the benefit of homeowners you may be working with, you may wish to download a brochure on the new smoke detector rules recently produced by the State Fire Marshall’s Office.
