Test smoke alarms and required CO alarms in all units annually. Kentucky's building codes require smoke alarms when homes and apartments are built, and carbon monoxide alarms in residential construction built after 2011 that has fuel-burning appliances or an attached garage, so testing every alarm at least once a year, and more often with a written log in buildings of three or more units under the state fire code, keeps that protection working for occupants.
