The appellant property owner appealed an order issued by the fire chief requiring the installation of 30-minute fire separations between dwelling units in a 7-unit residential building.
The appellant argued the building was safe and compliance would be too costly.
The Fire Safety Commission found that the building lacked adequate fire separations and that the required upgrades were necessary to ensure the safety of the tenants and first responders.
The appeal was dismissed, but the compliance date was extended to accommodate pandemic-related delays.
