The appellant property owner appealed an inspection order issued by the Brantford Fire Department regarding 23 Fire Code violations at an illegal lodging house.
The appellant did not dispute the violations but sought an extension of time to comply due to financial constraints and ongoing planning disputes with the city.
The Fire Safety Commission found that while the appellant had not taken sufficient steps to achieve compliance and significant fire risks remained, a brief extension was appropriate to allow the appellant to commence compliance activities.
The inspection order was amended to extend the compliance date to June 30, 2026.
