Where do I find the requirements for S/A locations? 72?

I have an odd situation, one bedroom SFDW with no bedroom door. Plans show only one smoke in the bedroom.

Sound compliant?

Thanks
 
Chris,

The room or hallway that leads to a bedroom gets smoke and CO detectors. The bedroom gets a smoke detector.

The case opening is ceiling level, in the pic below I'm standing in the kitchen and your looking through a case opening to the study then another into the bed room.

The way I'm reading 09 314.3 there should be another outside the sleeping room???

That would be correct #1 in bedroom and # 2 outside each sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedroom.
