Fire Inspections

FIRE PREVENTION INSPECTIONS - The Uniform Fire Code mandates periodic inspections of all commercial business, industrial and office buildings classified by the Uniform Fire Code as life hazards in the community.  All new construction, including renovations and additions, are inspected by a fire specialist before a certificate of occupancy is issued. Residents may request an inspection of their premises to determine whether a fire hazard exists. A fire-prevention specialist will make a comprehensive examination of the home or apartment and prepare a list of recommendations for changes which will greatly reduce the possibility of fire. All residences, upon resale, and all rental units, upon rental, are inspected for required smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as required by State law.
