Summary

Carbon monoxide alarms must be installed in Brooklyn Park dwellings under the Minnesota State Fire Code, or the Minnesota Residential Code where it applies, and any alarm or detection system that goes inoperable or starts sending an end-of-life signal has to be replaced.

Section 705.1 General. Carbon monoxide alarms shall be installed in dwellings in accordance with the Minnesota State Fire Code, except that alarms in dwellings covered by the Minnesota Residential Code shall be installed in accordance with that code. ... 705.2 Carbon monoxide alarms and detectors. Carbon monoxide alarms and carbon monoxide detection systems shall be maintained in accordance with Minnesota State Fire Code. Carbon monoxide alarms and carbon monoxide detectors that become inoperable or begin producing end-of-life signals shall be replaced.

Full Breakdown

1, General, for the City of Brooklyn Park, requiring carbon monoxide alarms to be installed in dwellings in accordance with the Minnesota State Fire Code, except that dwellings covered by the Minnesota Residential Code must instead follow that code's installation requirements. 2, Carbon monoxide alarms and detectors, covers the ongoing duty: carbon monoxide alarms and carbon monoxide detection systems must be maintained in accordance with the Minnesota State Fire Code, and any alarm or detector that becomes inoperable or begins producing an end-of-life signal must be replaced.

Read together, the two sections route the actual installation standard, where alarms go, how many, what triggers the requirement, to whichever state code governs the building (fire code generally, residential code for covered dwellings), while making the maintain-and-replace duty a locally enforceable Property Maintenance Code obligation. 02(GGG), which separately identifies "carbon monoxide alarms and carbon monoxide detection systems" as a system requiring inspection, maintenance and testing under Minnesota State Fire Code standards. Enforcement runs through the same Chapter 106 framework as the rest of the amended IPMC, with the Building Official as Code Official.

Violations & Fines

Failing to install a required carbon monoxide alarm under the applicable state code, or failing to replace an alarm or detector that has become inoperable or is signaling end-of-life, is a Property Maintenance Code violation enforced under Section 106.02(G): prosecution within state or local law limits, with each day of noncompliance after due notice a separate offense.

What if my carbon monoxide alarm stops working or starts beeping for end-of-life?
It must be replaced. Section 106.02(PPP) specifically requires any carbon monoxide alarm or detection system that becomes inoperable or begins producing an end-of-life signal to be replaced under the maintenance duty it sets.

The Minnesota State Fire Code generally, or the Minnesota Residential Code for dwellings it covers; Brooklyn Park's Section 106.02(OOO) adopts that split rather than setting its own separate placement standard.
