co: California New Carbon Monoxide Detector Law - 07/17/11 11:01 AM
 

 
 
As of July 1, a new California state law requires homeowners to install carbon monoxide detectors. The Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act, Senate Bill 183, mandates that all single-family homes with attached garages, gas appliances, or fireplaces (by July 1, 2011) and multifamily or rental units (by January 2013) have the devices installed. Expect to see California appraisers call for this item as they do for hot water straps, smoke detectors, and other jurisdictional requirements.  Help reduce re-inspection fees by having Borrowers and Sellers install this item prior to an appraisal inspection.CaliforniaCal.
