Place. I think you schumann should encourage the landlord to make other options. I lived in many houses and didnt know there was a hotel code that would allow you to have 10 rooms and one bath but there is and thats what most of them are operating under. When you start messing with changing the structure of the buildings or doing a lot to them, the tenants are all scared they will have no place to go. Recently history has proven some of that.

We will make sure that egress and ingres for firefighters is sufficient for the resident. However, beyond lieutenant, maybe i can help. I was in a situation where the home was very cluttered and the Building Owner complained about it and we went. What we did was we looked at the home and we can tell the resident lived there a long long time and it was a Single Family home and the at the present time was very aware of the fire code. What i explained to him is that we are concerned with anything that is fire related. If i cant open the door to get in, i cant put out your fire and you cannot get out of the building in an emergency. There was other things he did by locking the building by putting a screw in the window. I had to educate him. I had to tell him to remove the screws. With the screws there, he couldnt open the window and get on the fire

For Building Code enforcement. As you know dbi is an Enterprise Department and dbi has collected 40 million more in fees than you have expended. This enables them to fund necessary infrastructure repairs including systems.
