Overview
This bill requires certain residential buildings – specifically those with three or more stories and two or more dwelling units – to install fire barriers with a fire-resistance rating of at least three hours in common attic areas. These barriers must be provided during construction permit applications and will be required to be installed within 180 days of new regulations being adopted. The bill aims to improve fire safety by slowing the spread of fires and providing more time for evacuation and firefighting efforts.
