Bernards Township Smoke Detector requirements

Amanda said I haven’ t been blogging lately – and she’s RIGHT!  I’ve been swamped which is a really good thing, right?!  Tonight the Girls on The Run group from the YMCA is running in the Flag Day 5k at the Y on Mt. Airy Road – and I am joining my daughter to run!  The girls have been working really hard and are very exciteded (and a little nervous) to be running in a REAL road race!

This morning I passed the Township Fire inspection for one of my listings that is scheduled to close next week.  While I always make sure my sellers know what is needed for this inspection and I often schedule it for them, it is good to know what is required – because most people are totally surprised when I tell them.

You need to have a smoke detector on every level of the home; you need a carbon monoxide detector on every level where there is a bedroom and it needs to be within 10 feet of the bedroom door.  You also need a fire extinguisher hung in the kitchen.  Email me and I will send you the document from the Bernards Township code enforcement department.
