My carbon monoxide detector has been randomly going off and I have usually opened my windows and gone outside. I notified my landlord who said it's nothing. After tons of calling they finally gave me a new carbon monoxide detector. Now this new one is going off. I called, the landlord came to check my stove with a bottle of window cleaner and said everything is fine.

NT I don't want to die how do I get them to fix this? I live in NYC who do I call?

U should call the gas company tonight.

It's been on and off for a few weeks. I don't know who to call. I called landlord and they did nothing.

Yea... I have no other place to stay man. I've figured out its only after using my stove over a certain length of time. I have to wait for the alarm to go off again because the fire department won't do anything if I call and the alarm has not gone off.
 
Damn man... All I gotta say then is good luck... this is no joke though this **** can kill you.... I'd be afraid to go to bed :lol: :smh:

If you can find a friend or relative to stay with you should..
 
call the fire department asap. i remember i almost died one summer about 15 years ago. good thing it was summer time and we had all windows open and wasn't home the whole time. everyone in the in my apartment got headaches and felt sick. my mom knew something was wrong because when we were outside we were fine. called the gas company and said everyone in the house maybe the apartment complex would have died from the carbon monoxide levels after they came and did tests. a bird built a nest on the vents on the roof and clogged up the air flow for heaters.
 
OP, get the hell out of there man.

Notify your city council. You might have a case against your landlord. Call the fire department. Don't put your life in the hands of some slum lord, B

There might be a gas leak in your apartment. Call the fire department. Go spend the night in a hotel, fam.
 
Hopefully you aren't strapped for cash. Go to some cheap hotel for a night or two and see if you can call fire department or do a google search.

Would hate to see something happen to you due to your landlord who doesn't seem like he's doing his job correctly. If you have 2 different detectors going off, there is clearly a problem m...

op if you want to risk your life staying home at least cut the gas off to your apartment and keep all windows and doors open.

Dude are you kidding? Get out and call the local gas company, they'll be out there with the quicks
 
I suggest you get a carbon monoxide detector that will give you the value. Then go from there. I havent ever seen a value over 0.
