have a client who has owned an apartment building which has housed college
students for over 20 years. Up to this year, the state conducted an annual
inspection of the building and its units; each year the building and units
passed inspection. Recently, the inspection function was transferred to
the local fire department. The local fire inspector has cited the client
for inadequate egress, stating that a door leading into a bedroom of a number of
units must remain unlocked at all times. This would render these
apartments non-rentable costing the client hundreds of thousands of dollars in
income and drastically reducing the building’s value. Despite pleas by the
client and his architects and engineers, who have suggested a number of options
to achieve the objective of the egress requirement, the fire department
inspector will not budge.</SPAN></P>
