NYSAR: Oppose Mandated Home Fire Sprinklers, Support Consumer Choice

"NYSAR is in the process of launching a public campaign opposing a state proposed mandate that would require homebuyers to install fire sprinklers in all *new* 1-2 family homes – increasing construction costs up to $30,000. Tell Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany lawmakers to oppose this unfunded mandate, which will increase housing costs at a time when the state should be working to make homeownership more affordable," reported NYSAR Government Affairs. "NYSAR’s targeted ad campaign statewide is urging REALTORS® and the public to take action before the December 6 deadline when the state Code Council could adopt the proposal."
