carbon monoxide detectors required in new york image
JoAnn P
he has a small heater, he has not been feeling good and thinks it's carbon monoxide he also called his landlord. he past out three times last night and i am taking him to the ER after his shift at work. He is dizzy, and blacks out
Answer
Well for starters-- he should have a carbon monoxide detector in his apartment along with a smoke detector. All cities are different but here in New York landlords are required by law to install them in all units. Most other cities that I know of have similar laws. If his landlord is not obligated or refuses to do so, a basic one is not that expensive-- Carbon monoxide can be fatal.
Also, when your son passed out was he at his apartment or yours? It could be something else-- mold in the apartment or a physical health problem or a neurological problem. Either way, definately do not ignore it-- he should see a doctor as soon as possible to properly diagnose the problem-- I do not recommend doing yourself or allowing google, wikipedia, me or any other poster here to do it instead.

Subdivision 5-A of Section 378 of the Executive law:
Standards for installation of carbon monoxide detectors requiring
that every one or two-family dwelling constructed or offered for sale

constructed or offered for sale after July thirtieth, two thousand two,
or any multiple dwellings constructed or offered for sale after August

monoxide detector of such manufacture, design and installation standards
as are established by the council. Carbon monoxide detectors required by
this section are required only where the dwelling unit has appliances,
devices or systems that may emit carbon monoxide or has an attached
garage. For purposes of this subdivision, multiple dwelling means a
dwelling which is either rented, leased, let or hired out, to be
occupied, or is occupied as the temporary or permanent residence or home

stories in height, and with five or more boarders, roomers or lodgers
residing with any one family. For the purposes of this section, sale
shall mean the transfer of ownership of a business or property, provided
however, transfer of franchises shall not be deemed a sale. New
construction shall mean a new facility or a separate building added to
an existing facility.
Sorry about the formatting. It wouldn't paste properly. It may be easier to read on the site. The link is to the legislature page. Once you click the New York law link you can navigate to the citation.
