What are the codes for smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in the home?

Smoke detectors must be placed on every level, including the basement, of the home. If the attic is a finished living space, a smoke detector must be installed.

Carbon Monoxide detectors must be placed within 10 feet of all bedroom doors.

Both are required to pass a housing inspection.
