Unsafe Buildings:

Other: While living at Terra Trace (321 E. 14th St) from 2020-2022 there were a lot of problems but one that should absolutely not be dismissed. I am disappointed that no one seems to realize the seriousness of this. On Aug 17, 2021, my neighbors set their stove on fire. Once I noticed the smoke smell, I went to the hallway to see what was going on and my neighbor explained what happened. They didn't know what to do so I pulled the fire alarm and it did not go off. I had to alert everyone by knocking on their doors to let them know the building wasn't safe and we needed to get out. I was told my claim was false and inaccurate. After some minor internet searches, I found that there was a fire here in 2011 (if I remember correctly) that killed a student. After finding this out, I knew I had to do more. I feel as if this apartment complex needs to be reevaluated for safety of the residents still living there. I will also be willing to provide more information, videos, etc about this incident. Thank you!

I visited the site in question and found that their fire alarm system was up to date. This alarm system is a local alarm and does not call out and is therefore required to have labels on the Fire Alarm pull stations "Local alarm only call 911" These will be added within 1 week. I will follow up in a week to insure this has been done. No further action.

Tim, I'm not sure how to respond to this complaint. I understand that the older on site pull station fire alarms are no longer functional in a lot of properties. I'm not sure of the reason. JH
