“Justin Christian El-Abiad, Robert E. Dwight, Jr., Raquan Ellis, Zahir Atkins, and Sebastien Manzalaoui Act"; revises window guard requirements in certain residential rental units and multiple dwellings.

Summary

The legislation amends existing statutes to require landlords and owners of certain rental apartments and multiple‑dwelling buildings to install and maintain approved window guards when a tenant with a child under 13 or a person with a disability requests them. It sets design, installation and sound‑alert standards, defines who must do the work, and clarifies exemptions such as seasonal rentals and fire‑escape windows. The changes aim to improve child and disability safety while giving municipalities the ability to adopt stricter standards.
