Title
Appeal of Frank Clancy, Calcio Rose Real Estate, to a Fire Inspection Correction Notice at 610 CHATSWORTH STREET NORTH.
 
Purpose of Appeal
610 Chatsworth was built in about 1962.  The openable width of the windows in the bedrooms is extremely close (2") to the standard.  Requiring replacement of as many as 15 windows would be a financial hardship with little safety benefit.  See attached letter.
 
Date of Order(s)
April 7, 2011
 
Legislative Hearing Officer Recommendation
No hearing necessary.  Recommend variance on egress window dimensions.
