Title
Appeal of Georgina E. Frankel to a Fire Inspection Correction Notice at 1439 PALACE AVENUE.
Purpose of Appeal
The double hung windows don't open to city code specs (Item 3). They are 3.5" (north window) and 4" (south window) below the minimum height, but they are both 9" wider than the minimum width required and provide 8.7 sq. ft. of glazed area. The current dead bolt on the front door (Item 4) has a 1/2" throw. It is part of the original door hardware, unique and specific to the 1920s house. Appellant would like to keep the lock set and door just as they are as she plans to move back to the house someday.
