Customer Question

I am finishing a basement area under my addition and need to know if by code I need a smoke or CO detector. The exiting dwelling basement is already finished with living space and a furnace room with a smoke detector. The new area is living space and a bathroom and all the basement is on the same floor through 2 double doors into the new finished area.
