Window Guards

The new window guard law "Ezechiel's Law" applies only to rental apartments and condos in multifamily buildings located above the ground floor level effective January 1, 2022. Window guards or window stops must be installed in every habitable room when minor children under age 11 occupy the rental unit or when any tenant, with or without children, requests window guards to prevent windows from opening more than 4 inches. For more information about window guard specifications and requirements, please click on the first link below. Pictures of code compliant window guards can be found by clicking on the second link below on page 22 and page 23 in the Housing and Building Code Handbook.
