Title
Appeal of James Mayer to a Fire Certificate of Occupancy Correction Notice at 720 SUMMIT AVENUE.
Purpose of Appeal
The only non-compliance is width and the windows are within 1-1/4" of being in compliance. There is good access to the windows and good egress through them. The building was built over a century ago and it would be very expensive and dificult to replace this row of windows. The inspector took pictures which I believe will demonstrate the access and egress.
Date of Order(s)
September 28, 2011
Variance Recommendation
Yes, 2 inches egress opening width. No hearing necessary.
