After March 1, 1997, every change in occupancy occasioned by or incidental to a sale, lease or sublease of a unit, it shall be the duty of the grantor (i.e. the seller, the lessor or the sublessor, as the case may be) to certify before occupancy, to the new occupant, that all carbon monoxide detectors required by this chapter are installed and in proper working condition. Failure to comply with this section shall be punishable as set forth herein, provided, however, that this section shall not be construed to vitiate or render void any contract, lease or sublease subject hereto.
