Hi Friends, I am writing this quickly, as I have to leave for the hospital soon. My nephew was recently taken from his apartment almost DEAD. THANKFULLY, someone check on him, as he was late for work. It was quicly determined that he had been exposed to CO gas--the heating company confirmed the unit was faulty. He almost died. He was life flighted to the SF bay area where there is a hyperbaric O2 chamber-- with a huge bill. I spoke with the landlord who claim he had never had his heating units expecteds (natural gas) and "Not my fault:. Where do I go??? Should a landlord have an occassional heating inspection where natural gas is concered. More later when I get back from the hospital. Thank you for any input--this happened in California. Without having time to read the statutes, I believe the liability to maintain and have inspected the heating/cooliing systems lies on the landlord.. Your opinion please.
