Shreveport, LA Building Safety: Carbon Monoxide Detectors (2026)

8 lists the health and safety standards every short-term rental must meet at all times while the short-term rental is occupied, and subsection C is direct: smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers shall be installed and operable, and all wood-burning fireplaces and stoves shall be cleaned on an annual basis. The same section requires structural components, including roofs, floors, walls, foundations, stairs, and handrails, to be kept in sound condition and capable of resisting normal loads, and requires an operable toilet, sink, and either a bathtub or shower inside an enclosed, private room.

F ties the standard back to the permit itself: maximum occupancy must match what the approved short-term rental application states, so the same inspection point that checks detector operability also checks that the unit is not being overfilled with guests. G, acknowledging the property is habitable and complies with these Article 23 health and safety standards before the permit is ever issued, which makes the detector requirement a precondition of getting licensed in the first place, not just an ongoing duty checked after a complaint.

8 also requires adequate trash and recycling capacity so waste does not overflow onto neighboring lots, tying the detector and structural standards to the same complaint-driven inspection the Zoning Administrator runs under Article 23.
