Smoke detectors are required in the following areas: 1. Sleeping areas; 2. Every room in the path of the means of egress from the sleeping area to the door leading from the dwelling unit; and 3. Each story within the unit, including below-grade stories. For dwelling units with split levels and without an intervening door between the adjacent levels, a smoke detector installed on the upper level shall suffice for the adjacent lower level.
