This amendment is sponsored by Councilmembers Neher and Mayer and changes the effective date for the smoke detector requirements. The amendment promotes public safety by ensuring the installation of hard-wired smoke detectors in all rental units while acknowledging the financial considerations the requirements will place on owners of residential rental property. These changes will require: (a) newly registered residential rental units to comply with these provisions for applications filed after January 1, 2014; (b) residential rental units where a Certificate of Zoning Compliance is issued in conjunction with an application for a building permit to comply with these provisions for permit applications filed after January 1, 2014; and (c) all residential rental units to comply with these provisions by December 31, 2018.
