A kitchen and dining outhouse not occupied by anyone was
fitted with seven smoke detectors. They were all taken down,
Occasionally, they have a drifter sleeping in this room. Is it a
violation to take all the smoke detectors down in this outhouse?

What are you referring to as an "outhouse"? I reckon it's not an outdoor
****ter. If the building is open to the public for business, and you have a
fire alarm installed no part may be disabled without permission from the AHJ.

It's a small house or building at a little distance from the main church;
something like an outbuilding with a toilet, kitchen, fireplace and a
large dining table. There must be a draft problem because the smoke
seems to flow fine except on certain days. This is a non-profit place,
open for the public, design for volunteers such as cooks, gardener
butlers and a place to store food. Sleeping is prohibited, but instead
of kicking someone out, they just opt for higher insurance premiums.
Does anyone think this place is violating a (N. California)
code?
