At every change of occupancy of every dwelling unit in the city, occasioned by or
incidental to a sale, lease or sublease of a rental unit, it shall be the duty of
the grantor thereof (i.e., the seller, lessor or sub-lessor, as the case may be) to
certify in writing before occupancy, to the new occupant that all smoke detectors
as required by this article are installed and in proper working condition. Failure
to comply with this section shall be punishable as a misdemeanor as is provided herein
and shall be evidence of the negligence of or inattention of the grantor. This section
shall not, however, render any lease or contract or sublease void for failure to have
certification required hereby.
