Carbon monoxide is not like a fire, where a fire at the other end of the building could potentially be an out of control blaze by the time it reached your unit and you were aware of it. If there's enough carbon monoxide in your living space to be a danger to you, a carbon monoxide detector IN your own living space will provide all the alert you need.

No. Carbon monoxide is a by-product of the burning of gas. If the gas isn't burning, no carbon monoxide is being produced. However, you should be aware of escaping gas and shut-off the gas supply to any malfunctioning equipment. Gas boilers should be regularly serviced, and only serviced by suitably qualified technicians.
