carbon monoxide detector july image
EVANS HERE
I was told today that all apartments should have carbon dioxide detectors. that the person believed it was in the housing law (just like every apartment must have fire alarms and an extinguisher ) Now I live in New York State. In the city of Syracuse. I need to know if its true before I call and demand that they instale one. We bought one to put in the nursery for the baby (when he comes LOL I have to get everything done now so I know its done) Thanks for the help.
hahah rolfl I did not catch that I typed dioxide instead of monoxide. LOL thanks for pointing it out!!!
Answer
Not true! If you have electric heat, range, etc. there is no carbon monoxide unless you light your furniture on fire!
New York
N.Y. Exec. Law § 378 â Standards for New York state uniform fire prevention and building code.
Requires New York Fire Prevention and Building Code to adopt standards for installation of carbon monoxide detectors requiring that every one or two-family dwelling constructed or offered for sale after July thirtieth, two thousand two, any dwelling accommodation located in a building owned as a condominium or cooperative in the state constructed or offered for sale after July thirtieth, two thousand two, or any multiple dwellings constructed or offered for sale after August ninth, two thousand five shall have installed an operable carbon monoxide detector of such manufacture, design and installation standards as are established by the council. Carbon monoxide detectors required by this section are required only where the dwelling unit has appliances, devices or systems that may emit carbon monoxide or has an attached garage.

How many smoke alarms do we need?
GIGLZZ AND
We live in a 1300 square feet house and we have 2 smoke alarms (one in one of the 3 bedrooms and one in the hallway) and am getting a heat detector connected to our security system in our kitchen, should we have anymore, we had a smoke alarm for the security system but discovered it was defective after a somewhat small fire. I think we have two spots for interconnected smoke alarm, when we first moved in 10 years ago we had a very old wired smoke alarm in the hallway but has been replaced twice and now its just a battery operated one installed in the same spot. our house was built in july 1982.
Answer
At a minimum you should have one in each bedroom and one outside of each bedroom. If they share a common hallway or room then one outside is permitted. They should be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling. Also, one in the attic(if possible) and one in the basement or near gas burning or electric appliances(furnace, water tank, dryer). You should also have carbon monoxide detectors if you have gas burning appliances. One near the appliances and one in your bedroom. If your all electric then a CO alarm is not needed. Inter-connecting smoke alarms are great but if the system does not work then make sure you stay current with changing the batteries. You can now get 10 year lithium batteries for your smoke alarms. That's right, they last 10 years and most detectors are warrantied for 10 years as well. The batteries are about 7 bucks a piece but well worth the investment. At the end of the 10 year period, you should replace the detectors.
