There are 8 units in the building. I think code here in MA is for connected smoke detectors. That is the requirement in single family homes, at least. But with 8 kitchens in an apartment building and no way to figure out if it is a false alarm because you can’t get into other apartments, I could imagine a lot annoyance alarms. Frustrated tenants may have decided to disable. It kind of makes sense even though it is a huge safety risk, especially on upper floors.
