CARBON MONOXIDE AND SMOKE ALARM PLACEMENT
As of July 1, 2022, all buildings with a residential occupancy (i.e., sleeping quarters) are required to have carbon monoxide and smoke alarms installed. This includes older buildings which were initially constructed prior to these devices being required in the previous building code. While the Town will not being going door-to-door to ensure buildings are complying, if a building official or fire inspector is in a residence for any other purpose and notices the required devices are missing, they could write an order requiring the owner to comply.
