Title
Appeal of Andrew Hilliard to a Fire Certificate of Occupancy Inspection Correction Notice at 1630 HEWITT AVENUE.
Purpose of Appeal
Item #1 on deficiency list. Though the window opening area of 8 square feet exceeds the minimum 5 square feet and 31.5" width exceeds the minimum 20" width, the 19" openable height on the window falls short of the minimum 24." Since the window hasn't been altered since buying the home and exceeds the other two requirements, we'd like to appeal so that it be allowable. Thanks!
