Fighting Against the Mandatory Fire Sprinkler Mandate: A Call for Action
As the debate over the proposed fire sprinkler mandate in new residential housing in New York State intensifies, NYSAR is leading the charge in opposition to this controversial measure. Spearheaded by NYSAR’s chief lobbyist, Mike Kelly, our organization is actively engaging in advocacy efforts to voice our opposition and concerns.
In our ongoing battle against this proposal, we have collaborated with the Empire Report to amplify our perspective and dissent. By placing targeted ads and stories on the platform, we aim to raise awareness and garner support for our cause. One noteworthy contribution comes in the form of a NYSAR sponsored Op Ed authored by Dan Davies, a respected figure in the firefighting and real estate community. The Op Ed presents a compelling argument against the imposition of mandatory sprinkler systems in all new homes, shedding light on the potential drawbacks and implications for homeowners and builders alike.
Furthermore, our advocacy efforts have extended to sharing a recent Newsday article that delves into how the proposed mandate could impact housing developments on Long Island. By leveraging platforms like the Empire Report and Newsday, we are amplifying our message and rallying support for our cause.
With the State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council set to address this critical issue on Friday, February 28, the window for action remains open. It is imperative that concerned individuals, homeowners, and industry stakeholders join us in opposing this mandate by sending a Call for Action to the Governor and state lawmakers. Your voice matters, and your input can make a difference in shaping the outcome of this crucial decision.
Join us in standing against this proposal, advocating for smart building codes, and ensuring that housing affordability and practicality remain at the forefront of legislative decisions. Together, we can make a difference and protect the interests of both homeowners and industry professionals in New York State.
