NYSAR Declares Victory Defeating NYS Home Sprinkler Mandate

Among the proposals included in the initial draft Code was a requirement that all new one- and two-family residential construction be installed with an automatic fire sprinkler system," said NYSAR in a statement. 

"In response, NYSAR quickly engaged Governor Hochul’s administration and state lawmakers to oppose the overly restrictive measure as it would make home buying even less affordable across the state. Following a months-long public campaign and REALTOR® action, the Code Council removed the mandate to require automatic fire sprinkler systems in new one- and two-family home construction."
