Title
Appeal of Michael S. Amos, Sr. to a Fire Certificate of Occupancy Inspection Correction Notice at 2071 ORANGE AVENUE EAST.
Purpose of Appeal
The windows are fairly new Andersen Renewal windows. They open to a height of 19 3/4 inches and are 30 inches wide. An opening of this size should provide an escape big enough for almost anyone should the need arise. To replace these windows to gain 4 1/2 inches seems unnecessary and cost prohibitive. Thank you.
Date of Order(s)
February 8, 2012
Inspector/Key Staff
James Thomas
Legislative Hearing Staff Comments
No hearing necessary.
Variance Recommendation
Yes, 5 inches egress opening height.
