The ordinance requires Carbon Monoxide detectors to be installed outside each separate sleeping area, and on each floor including basements.
According to the city, the ordinance is complaint driven, with the city aiming to focus first on education and voluntary compliance.
“Simply put, this ordinance is about saving lives,” said Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan. “If we can prevent even one death by ensuring CO detectors are required, it will be worth it. I applaud City Council for their swift action and support in this matter.” If this occurs, CO can build up and poison those in the home who are unknowingly breathing in the deadly gas, the city said.
