FOR APARTMENT OWNERS/MANAGERS

The new State of Wisconsin
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Law
goes into effect April 1st, 2010.

 The new regulations were issued as emergency rules
by the state Department of Commerce, Safety and Buildings Division,
as required by April 2008 legislation title "2007 Wisconsin Act 205"

 Requirements for commercial-residential buildings existing
on October 1, 2008,
or receiving plan approval prior to October 1, 2008.
-Installation of carbon monoxide alarms by April 1, 2010.
-No mandatory type of power sources for the carbon monoxide alarms,
thereby allowing batteries, electrical outlet plug-ins,
or writing directly to the building's electrical service.
-Omission of carbon monoxide alarms is allowed provided
there are no attached garages and all of the fuel burning appliances are
of sealed combustion type either under warranty or
annually inspected for carbon monoxide emissions.

This law also establishes where the alarms must be placed within
the rental unit, and in the building.
