What is the new law for carbon monoxide detectors? We rent an apartment. Are the landlords required to provide them? What about smoke detectors? We live on the second story 2 bedroom apartment with one smoke detector.
We live in Jamestown, NY.
Or does anyone know a website were I can find the info?

Smoke Detectors Question?

I just moved into a whole house and have noticed that there is one non working old as dirt smoke detector in the kitchen and non anywhere else in the house.
How many smoke detectors do i need?
I live in upstate NY
The house has a full unfinished basement, first floor,second floor with 4 bedrooms and bathroom, unfinished attic.
Gas heat and stove- so do i need a carbon monoxide detector?
I have two small children
The house is not new, its an older victorian
Any info would be helpful as to the amount and placement!! Thank you!
Answer
Not sure what the laws are regarding them, but I will give you best practices.
There should be at least one smoke detector and one carbon monoxide detector on each level of the home.
Each bedroom should have it's own smoke detector, preferably near the door to catch any smoke entering from the hallway.
Don't put a smoke detector in the kitchen due to nuisance alarms, but it's a good idea to have one nearby.
So I would recommend 8 smoke alarms and 3 CO detectors. If you want you can substitute 3 CO/smoke combo detectors.
Put one in each bedroom, one in the main hall on the second floor, two on the main floor, and one or two in the basement depending how big it is.
