Smoke Detector Law in Effect for WS!

Effective Feb. 18, 2010, the new Smoke Detector Ordinance passed 18 months ago goes into effect. It applies to ALL homes within the city limits (and jurisdictional district) of Winston-Salem.

The new law requires detectors in every bedroom (and some other "rooms that can be used for sleeping") and on every floor. The property owner is the responsible party - this is important for rental property! Property managers are also responsible to make sure there is compliance according to the NC Real Estate Commission.
