Massachusetts H2689 mandates fuel gas alarms/detectors in buildings with gas-burning equipment for safety.

Massachusetts H2689 requires every dwelling, building, or structure with gas-burning equipment to have working, approved fuel gas alarms/detectors. This applies to residential and commercial properties, including those owned by the commonwealth. The Department of Public Health must establish rules for these detectors, which must comply with NFPA 715 and UL standards. Installers must complete training and certification, and buildings must be inspected upon sale or transfer. The state building code can impose stricter requirements for multifamily dwellings.
