carbon monoxide detectors ny image
Kevin
I live in an old house ( built late 1800's) with 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1 kitchen. I would like to know what the maximum occupancy is for this house. I am renting a room like most of the other tenants. The house is in Dryden NY which is part of Tompkins county (Ithaca NY). We have been having some minor issues with the landlord and I would like to know if this many of us are even legally permitted to live in a single house. I would also really like to have some links to any information regarding the fire safety regulations. There are no smoke detectors in any of our bedrooms, and maybe not on the second floor at all, a single fire extinguisher which is still in its box under the sink, and I don't think any carbon monoxide detectors. We have a big cast iron coal stove in the kitchen that heats the house. There is also a water treatment center in the basement that takes the sulfur and what not out of our well water but it is not in working condition. Any answers and links to places where I can find answer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. =D

" There are no smoke detectors in any of our bedrooms"
Smoke detectors do not go IN the room, they go outside the room in the hallway.
" maybe not on the second floor at all"
You need to look. Smoke detectors pretty much all look alike with only minor variations (an emergency light if the power goes out, size).
", and I don't think any carbon monoxide detectors. We have a big cast iron coal stove in the kitchen"
This IS a problem. Contact your local Fire Department or Board of Health.
"a single fire extinguisher which is still in its box under the sink"
Fire extinguishers are not usually required and not anywhere other than the itchen (grease fires). They don't want you trying to battle the fire, they want you to get out and call the fire department.
"There is also a water treatment center in the basement that takes the sulfur and what not out of our well water but it is not in working condition. "
Water quality is not controlled beyond certain thiings. Just because it stinks does not make it non-potable.

In NY, is it a state law that a seller of the home must provide a carbon monoxide detector?

Can someone give me a link to an official page where I can print out the regulations for this?
