Sign The Petition: Say NO to Unfunded State Mandates

As a resident of New York State, I urge you to oppose the Fire Prevention and Building Code Council’s proposal to mandate fire sprinkler systems in all new single-family homes.

This unfunded state mandate would add $20,000–$30,000 to the cost of building a new home, making homeownership even more unattainable for New Yorkers already struggling with affordability.

Prospective homebuyers deserve to make their own decisions about fire safety features in their homes. Removing this choice undermines consumer freedom and places an unnecessary financial burden on families.

Let’s focus on solutions that truly make housing more affordable—not more expensive.
