The Villages DOES install a combination smoke/CO detector outside each bedroom area. We check for this on every warranty inspection. You can tell the combo units because they are the ones that have gray writing on them......the "smoke only" detectors are all white. Every so often we find one switched or missing, but 99% of the time they are there and installed correctly and working fine. We also test all detectors on every inspection.
If you are suggesting that The Villages does not comply with this code, you would be incorrect.
