Say No to Adding Costs to Home Construction in New York
Nearly 3 out of 4 New Yorkers Say Sprinkler Installation Should Be Our Choice; Not A Mandate.*
*Per a NYSAR commissioned poll conducted by Siena Research Institute of 567 likely voters outside of New York City conducted October 13-17, 2024.
New York State wants to force residential fire sprinkler installation in new homes across the state, sticking us with the cost.
The cost of buying a home in New York is already skyrocketing, making homeownership nearly impossible for many. Even though most New Yorkers want to make their own choice about their home, unelected bureaucrats want to impose this expensive requirement for new single-family homes.
How The Mandate Will Negatively Impact New Yorkers
- Increases the cost of homes in an already challenging market by adding up to $30,000 to new home costs.
- Drives homebuyers to build homes outside of New York state.
- Strips residents of their right to consumer choice.
The State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council could vote to mandate fire sprinklers in all new 1-2 family homes as soon as December 6, 2024. Take Action and tell Governor Hochul and your state lawmakers that you think this decision should remain a consumer choice.
