Overview
This bill requires certain residential buildings – specifically those with three or more stories and two or more dwelling units – to install fire barriers in common attic areas (like lofts, attics, and cocklofts). These barriers must have a fire-resistance rating of at least three hours and extend to or through the roof. The bill also directs the Commissioner of Community Affairs to create specific regulations for these fire barriers, ensuring they are incorporated into existing building codes and inspection processes.
