My landlord refuses to install a smoke alarm in my apartment. Who is responsible?

Category: Fire Department
City Code Title 5, Chapter 3, Section 5-3-5-3 requires the landlord to "maintain the premises in substantial compliance with the applicable codes of the city and shall promptly make any and all repairs necessary to fulfill this obligation". To make a complaint about a non-compliant landlord, submit a "Rental Dwelling Inspection" service request on the City's website: https://www.cityofevanston.org/how-to-/311/submit-a-request or call 311.
