The appellant appealed a Review Decision of the Fire Marshal confirming an Inspection Order but extending the compliance date.

The appellant requested a further extension to complete the conversion of his building into a registered two-unit dwelling, citing municipal delays in issuing a building permit and supply chain issues for an egress window.

The Fire Safety Commission found the appellant made good faith efforts to comply and granted a short extension to December 28, 2022, to allow for final inspections and registration.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a decision that denied his claim for income replacement benefits (IRB) and an award.

The applicant argued that the adjudicator made errors of law and fact, violated procedural fairness, and acted outside their jurisdiction.

The Vice Chair dismissed the request, finding no errors in the original decision's assessment of the evidence, including the applicant's return to work and medical reports.

The Vice Chair also declined to award costs to the respondent, as the applicant's conduct did not meet the threshold for a costs award.
