The installation requirements of the code are in conflict with the recommendations of the manufacturers for almost all CO detectors. Even those manufacturer recommendations that are not in direct conflict with the insatallation provisions could be easily construed as such by a bleeding heart court looking to scapegoat another landlord. Therefore, it is basically impossible to comply with this law. A standard recommendation of the manufacturers is that the detectors shoud NOT be placed in the same room as or near a fuel burning appliance. Yet the code says you must do exactly this. I already spoke with State Dept of Commerce and City of Milwaukee about this conflict. Neither one cares. This law was undoubtedly written by trial lawyers.
