Verify smoke/CO alarm compliance with Ohio Fire Code and local ordinances. The Ohio Fire Code requires working smoke alarms in and near sleeping areas of rental units, and requires carbon monoxide alarms in existing rentals that have a fuel-burning appliance or an attached garage. Many Ohio municipalities layer stricter requirements on top. Do a documented annual check that placement and operation meet the state code and your city's ordinances.
