Massachusetts S1732 mandates automatic sprinkler systems in new one- and two-family dwellings for fire protection.
Massachusetts S1732 amends the state's General Laws to require newly constructed one- and two-family residential buildings to install automatic sprinkler systems. This requirement applies to buildings with a permit issued one year after the act's acceptance by a city or town. The law does not mandate retrofitting existing buildings. The head of the fire department is responsible for enforcing these provisions, with an appeal process available for those aggrieved by their decisions.
