This property has been inspected.
closed: Resolved #170490
Fire Hazards:
Web Form: The Woods at Latimer apartment complex has smoke detectors in units that are up to 10 years expired. Included photo are ones removed from our unit. Maintenance claims to only replace them when residents request, since "they still work" and "It's easier to leave old ones up than go into every unit and put new ones in". When batteries in these expired ones died, we alerted maintenance and they said to take them out and just "not start a fire" overnnight, as they would be out to replace them in the morning since it wasn't considered an emergency to not have working smoke detectors in the unit.

John, What does our code say in relation to the smoke detectors? Can we require them to replace them all now or do we do it when the next inspection cycle takes place? Thanks, Doris

While this does involve smoke detectors, the fire department does not have jurisdiction in residential occupancies. Sending to Housing and Neighborhood Department who has authority to investigate and correct the reported issue.
