(A) Smoke detectors shall be placed in accordance with applicable National Fire Protection Association standards. Detectors may be ceiling or wall mounted, provided that if wall mounted they shall be within 12 inches, but not closer than six inches, of the ceiling.
(B) In a dwelling unit which contains a well-defined sleeping room separated from the other activity areas of the same unit, the detector shall be located in the corridor within the unit or interior area giving access to the rooms used for sleeping purposes. Where sleeping areas are separated or where a single smoke detector will not adequately service all sleeping areas, there shall be a smoke detector installed adjacent to each sleeping room area.
(C) In a rooming unit, the detector shall be centrally located on the ceiling.
(D) In a dwelling containing two or more dwelling units or any rooming unit, in addition to the requirements for individual smoke detectors in each dwelling unit or rooming unit, detectors shall be placed in centrally located common areas, so that smoke detectors would adequately service all sleeping areas.
