Title
Appeal of Thao Vang to a Re-Inspection Fire Certificate of Occupancy With Deficiencies at 1109 SIXTH STREET EAST.
 
Purpose of Appeal
The inspector suggested that the egress window be 24 inches high by 20 inches wide.  The window at the property is currently measuring 20 inches high by 25 inches wide.  
I feel that the current window is openable and meeting standard code as it was installed correctly when this house was built.  
I am, therefore, asking for a decision in my favor.  (paraphrased)
