New Jersey requires smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in every Essex County home. Alarms must be on each level and outside each sleeping area, and a compliance certificate from the local fire official is required before any sale or lease.
Smoke- and CO-alarm rules across Essex County come from the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code, N.J.A.C. 5:70-4.19, enforced by each municipality's fire official. Smoke alarms must be installed on each level of the premises and outside each separate sleeping area, per NFPA 72; since January 1, 2019, replacement units in most one- and two-family homes must be 10-year sealed, tamper-resistant battery alarms. Carbon monoxide alarms are required in the immediate vicinity of sleeping areas in any home with a fuel-burning appliance or attached garage. Under N.J.A.C. 5:70-2.3, before any one- or two-family home is sold, leased, or has a change of occupancy, the owner must obtain a Certificate of Smoke Alarm, Carbon Monoxide Alarm and Portable Fire Extinguisher Compliance from
Selling or renting without the required compliance certificate, or lacking properly located smoke and CO alarms, violates N.J.A.C. 5:70 and can block a closing and bring fines from the local fire official.
