ok I know this is an electrical forum.But if anyone can help id appreciate it. I got a call to a water damaged house. leaking pipe and the contractor had to open up all the walls in a bed room. The house had no hard wired smokes. In Mass. I know that when you alter a bed room you have to update the smoke system. The insurance company is looking for the code article that for a reference. Its in the build code not the electrical and I don't have one...….. can anyone help me out

The 2015 IRC, appendix J - Existing Building & Structures - AJ102.3 Smoke detectors:
Regardless of the category of work, smoke detectors shall be provided where required by section R314.3.1
R314.3.1 tells you where they are to be installed.
This is, of course, barring any local amendments.
