Bill Summary
This bill would require residential landlords to install covers on steam radiators in order to protect tenants, occupants, and other persons on the premises from burns. Under the bill, a certificate of occupancy could not be issued following a change of occupancy if a landlord has not complied with this requirement. In municipalities that do not require a certificate of occupancy for a change of occupancy, a landlord would have to obtain a certificate evidencing compliance with this requirement from the applicable enforcing agency before leasing the property. The bill provides that a landlord who violates any of its provisions can be fined up to $500. The bill also expressly provides that any person who sustains any injury due to a residential landlord's failure to cover a steam radiator may bring a civil suit for appropriate legal or equitable relief.
