You are required to put CO alarms in each sleeping area in your home when you have fuel-burning appliances, heating systems, fireplaces or an attached garage. If you do not install CO alarms in your home, you could get a ticket or other penalty.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas that you cannot hear, see, smell or taste, also known as a “silent killer” made by the incomplete burning of fuels like natural gas, propane, heating oil, kerosene, coal, charcoal or wood due to inadequate air. In spaces like your home, cottage or vehicle, even a small amount of CO is dangerous and can be deadly.

CO alarms in apartment buildings
In all multi-unit residential buildings with attached garages or service rooms, CO alarms are required near each sleeping area in each unit with a common wall, floor or ceiling with the garage or service room. The owner or property manager must install and maintain properly working CO alarms in your building.
