(a) In all dwelling units used for rental purposes at least one smoke detector, and where required in Section 1331.01(b), at least one carbon monoxide (CO) detector shall be installed in the immediate vicinity of the sleeping area, as per the manufacturer’s specifications. A sleeping area is defined as the area or areas of the family living unit in which the bedrooms or sleeping rooms are located. Where bedrooms or room ordinarily used for sleeping are separated by other use areas, such as kitchens or living rooms, but not bathrooms or closets, they shall be considered as separate sleeping areas for the purposes of this section.
(b) When bedroom or sleeping areas are not fully enclosed or separated from other living areas within a living or sleeping unit, the smoke detector and carbon monoxide (CO) detector shall be installed nearest the area designated for sleeping, as per the manufacturer’s specifications. (Ord. 24-97. Passed 6-16-1997.)
(c) Alarm signaling devices shall be clearly audible in all bedrooms within the dwelling, apartment and condominium unit, when all intervening doors are closed. When more than one sleeping room occurs within a dormitory or dwelling unit, one detector may serve more than one room provided that the required exits from such sleeping rooms are in a single private corridor within fifteen feet of the detector.
