Landlord Didn't Conduct Monthly Sprinkler System Inspections

LVT Number: 13905

The Fire Department issued a violation notice to landlord for not conducting monthly sprinkler system tests. The ALJ fined landlord $525. Landlord appealed, claiming that the building's sprinkler system wasn't subject to monthly inspection requirements because it was a three-unit condominium. ECB ruled against landlord. The Fire Department memo landlord relied on said that the monthly inspection requirement didn't apply to one- or two-family homes.
