Ceiling Fan and Smoke Detectors

[sefnfot]

Is there a code that requires smoke detectors to be 3 feet away from ceiling fans?
The housing dept is citing existing smoke detectors in our small apartment building.
It would be simple, but they are making us pull new permits for doing this.
*** a result the aren't allowing the landlord to make the repair ourselves but require a licensed electrician to do it.
