I. z.3. ~tt_: E'Y:.~n G1. .493._efi' O *=ex MEMORANDUM TO: Ken Johnstone FROM: Gerald Dahl Brittany Scantland DATE: April 1, 2009 RE: Carbon Monoxide Legislation Governor Ritter recently signed HB 09-1091 concerning a requirement that carbon monoxide alarms be installed in residential properties. HB 09-1091 is also referred to as the "Lofgren and Johnson Families Carbon Monoxide Safety Act." A summary of the provisions of HB 09-1091 follows: 1. Application. HB 09-1091 applies to the sale or alteration of single-family dwellings, multi-family dwellings and single-family or multi-family dwellings used as rental properties. Sales of single-family and multi-family dwellings. Sellers of single-family or multi-family are responsible for assuring operational carbon monoxide alarms are installed within fifteen feet (15') of the entrance to each room lawfully used for sleeping purposes or in a location as specified in any building code adopted by the state or any local government entity. (C.R.S. 38-45-102(1)(a), 103(1)(a)). The City is implicated in this requirement only if: a. It is the seller of a single-family or multi-family dwelling. The statute will apply to the activities of the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority which sells single-family dwellings; or b. It decides to impose a more stringent requirement for the location of the carbon monoxide alarm in its adopted building/residential codes. (In conjunction with the sections set forth above, and per C.R.S. § 38-45-105 the City is authorized to promulgate different requirements; however, such requirements must be more stringent than those set forth by HB 09-1091). Unless the City already has adopted more stringent standards, there is likely no reason for the City to adopt standards different than those set forth in HB 09-1091. 3. Building permits and the addition of bedrooms. C.R.S. 38-45-102(2), 103(2), 104(1) also require installation of a carbon monoxide alarms within fifteen feet (15') of the entrance to each room lawfully used for sleeping purposes (or in a location as specified in any building code adopted by the state or any local government entity) when: a. The dwelling includes either fuel-fired appliances or an attached garage where, on or after July 1, 2009, interior alterations, repairs, fuel-fried appliance replacements or additions are made, any of which require a building permit; or b. One or more rooms lawfully used for sleeping purposes are added to a single- family or multi-family dwelling. If the City is the agency that issues building permits and inspects additions to homes (such as additional bedrooms), the City would likely bear the responsibility of inspection for the appropriate alarm in the instances above. 4. Rental properties. There are a few items of note related to rental properties and HB 09- 1091. a. Building permits and the addition of bedrooms. As noted above, C.R.S. § 38-45- 104(1) may require inspection by the City when building permits are issued and/or additional bedrooms are added. (See item 3 above). b. Change in tenancy. As of July 1, 2009, any change in tenant occupancy in a rental home or unit is subject to the requirements of C.R.S. 38-45-102, 103 discussed above. (See items 2 and 3 above). However, so long as there is a centralized alarm system in a multi-family dwelling the carbon monoxide alarm may be installed within twenty-five feet (25') of any fuel-fired heater or appliance, fireplace, or garage or in a location as specified in any building code adopted by the state or any local government entity. Once again, unless the City already has adopted more stringent standards, there is likely no reason for the City to adopt standards different than those set forth in HB 09-1091. c. Landlord duties. Unless the City is a landlord of single-family or multi-family housing, these provisions will not require City action. Prior to occupancy by a new tenant, a landlord must replace any carbon monoxide alarm that was removed, missing or not operational. A landlord must ensure that any batteries needed to operate a carbon monoxide alarm are provided to the tenant at the time of occupancy. If a tenant reports a carbon monoxide alarm missing or stolen during his occupancy, the landlord must replace such alarm. Finally, the landlord must repair a carbon monoxide alarm if notified by the tenant that the alarm is deficient. d. Tenant duties. Unless the City is a tenant of single-family or multi-family housing, these provisions will not implicate require City action. Tenants must keep, test and maintain all carbon monoxide alarms in good repair. Tenants must notify the landlord, in writing, the need to replace batteries. Tenants must notify the landlord, in writing, if the carbon monoxide alarm is missing or not operational. Finally, the tenant must notify the landlord, in writing, of any deficiency in the alarm that the tenant cannot correct. Prohibitions on tampering with carbon monoxide alarms. C.R.S. 38-45-102, 103 and 104 all contain prohibitions on removing batteries from or in any way rendering inoperable, a carbon monoxide alarm, except as a part of a process to inspect, maintain, repair or replace the alarm or place the batteries in the alarm. This is not likely an 2 activity that the City needs to monitor, as it would be a violation of state statute (not municipal code) to tamper with a carbon monoxide alarm. 6. City ordinances. HB 09-1091 provides that municipalities may adopt or enforce any requirements for the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide that are more stringent than those set forth in HB 09-1091. If the City decides to adopt more stringent regulations than those set forth in HB 09-1091, the City will have an increased duty to monitor activities related to carbon monoxide alarms. Limitation on liability. Finally, HB 09-1091 provides that a person shall not have a cause of action against a property owner if the carbon monoxide alarm is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's published instructions and in accordance with HB 09-1091. In addition, the purchaser of any property shall not have a cause of action against the realtor or seller so long as the listing contract contains the requirements specified in C.R.S. 38-45-102(1)(b) and 103(1)(b). This provision on limitation of liability likely does not affect the City. Conclusion There is relatively little in HB 09-1091 with which the City needs to be concerned. First, per HB 09-1091, the City can adopt more stringent regulations than those contained in the bill. If the City decides to adopt more stringent regulations, it will have an increased duty to monitor activities related to carbon monoxide alarms. The suggestion would be for the City to default to the regulations set forth in HB 09-1091 unless and until it finds a need to adopt different regulations. Second, the City may have inspection duties in certain circumstances described above. Please let us know if this communication raises any additional questions or concerns regarding HB 09-1091. 3
