color=#0000ff size=2>The issue is more likely, the codes today, not the code
from 69-70. when the building was built. There is no
grandfathering from the fire code (Florida Fire Prevention Code) in
Florida. The fire marshal/inspector can almost always compel enforcement with
the fire code in effect-- except that it would be for compliance with the
"existing" building requirements for the particular use. In the FLFPC,
there is a new [use] and existing [use] chapter for each use type. For example,
there is a new apartment building chapter and an existing apartment
building chapter. A non-printable version of the FLFPC can be found on the State
Fire Marshal's website. If it it turns out that this is where your problem
is (and I suspect it is), there may be alternatives in the code itself .
Also, there are also some statutory provisions that deal with hardship in
complying with the fire code as well.</FONT></STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

thoughts---<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">There are cases
that have held that testimony about interpretation of codes is not admissible
when offered by a design expert experienced in applying code; the argument
being that interpretation of code is a matter of law not fact and testimony on
issue of law is not competent evidence. On the other hand there is a FDOT rule
case involving outdoor advertizing which held that evidence of past practice of
agency (FDOT) responsible for interpretation and enforcement, may be
offered as evidence of proper meaning to be given to code.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Because you
have period of actual application of code by then competent agency, and no
change to code language ( I assume ) then that prior interpretation may be a
basis for interpreting code as applied to your specific facts. The
interpretation and enforcement of safety codes include judgment, consistently
exercised, for period of time may be a basis to preclude the inquiry itself
(absent a new and permissibly retroactive safety code
requirement).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
