The Landlord Speaketh

[tweeter]

Let me begin by saying that I don't have a carbon monoxide thingie on my ceiling (studio apt.), and I've never heard of these charges being passed on to the tenant. The date on the document is 8/16/12, but tenants didn't get it in mailbox until the end of this week, Friday. Lastly, this is the best example of LL doubletalk I've ever read.

Anyone else have landlord stories?


THE NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL RECENTLY ADOPTED LOCAL LAW 75 OF 2011.
THIS LAW AMENDS LOCAL LAW #7 of 2004, WHICH REQUIRED THE
INSTALLATION OF A "CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM" IN EACH APARTMENT IN A BUILDING WHERE "FOSSIL FUELS" ARE BURNED (SUCH AS BOILERS, GAS STOVES AND HOT WATER HEATERS). TH!S NEW LAW NOW REQUIRES THAT A REPLACEMENT ALARM BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE ALARM AND SINCE MOST OF THE ALARMS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ARE PAST THEIR USEFUL LIFE, A DEADLINE FOR INSTALLATION OF OCTOBER 2012 HAS BEEN SET FOR THE FIRST REPLACEMENT.

ONE ALARM MUST BE INSTALLED WITHIN 15 FEET OF THE ENTRANCE TO EACH ROOM THAT MAYBE USED FOR SLEEPING PURPOSES.

THE SUPER WILL BE CONTACTING YOU TO ARRANGE INSTALLATION OF THEM.

THE COST OF THESE COMBINED DEVICES WHICH IS REIMBURSABLE
PURSUANT TO NEW YORK CITY, DEPARTMENT OF HPD IS $35.00.
YOU SHALL BE BILLED ACCORDINGLY.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION.
