On January 31, 2022, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published Housing Notice H 2022-01 (Notice), Carbon Monoxide Alarms or Detectors in U.S. HUD-Assisted Housing. This Notice applies to all HUD Section 811 PRA developments with fuel-burning appliances and/or attached garages. The Notice can be viewed at https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PIH/documents/PIH2022-01.pdf.
HUD issued this Notice to inform and educate property owners/staff and residents of the harmful causes and effects of carbon monoxide (CO). To avoid exposure to CO, HUD will require property owners to install CO alarms or detectors at applicable developments. This requirement must be completed by December 27, 2022.
At a later date, HUD will be providing flyers that developments can print and provide to their residents. The Department will provide an update via listserv once HUD releases the flyers.
To ensure compliance, please review the Notice at the link provided above. For any questions or concerns, please contact Daniel Clark at [email protected]. Technical issues regarding CO alarms or detectors may be directed to the Lead and Healthy Homes help desk, at [email protected] .
If you have any questions, please contact Manuel Pena, Manager of Physical Inspections, at (512) 475-0207.
