The State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council is meeting on May 15 to vote on pending building and construction code requirements for New York State. These proposed regulations may contain language requiring the installation of fire sprinkler systems in all new one- and two-family homes as well as townhomes. NYSAR believes education, transparency and consumer choice is the appropriate action versus another state mandate on purchasers of new homes in New York State. Take action and tell Gov. Andrew Cuomo and your state legislators that you oppose this mandate by clicking here. 

NYSAR also launched a media campaign including a radio commercial, newspaper ads and a website in opposition to this mandate on Monday, February 2. A link to the radio commercial and more information including fire sprinkler facts and poll results can be found at www.stopalbanymandates.com.
