Obviously he's making enough from his many properties that he sees it as just a cost of doing business.boston_e wrote:That sounds pretty bad to me.noknees wrote:Outcome of inspection.....
to have anything more than 8 people requires a fire alarm system w central monitoring. Yes, brings false alarms.
One pull station per floor so three for me - yes, the ugly red ones
Strobes/horns on each floor (maybe each bedroom but I wasn't taking great notes)
Stobes/horns/pull stations are all wired low voltage
Fire/smoke detectors are all wireless
Monitoring fee $400/yr
False alarm fee....pricey for sure. Can't imagine billing the renter.
So also require other annual or semi-annual inspections
Fireplace flue inspection - annual
Boiler inspection - every two years
FA system - every year
Also requires you have internet or phone all year long (I usually turn it off during the summer months)
He also found some various building issues for correction....more stuff for the fall list of stuff to fix
Anyway....not as bad as I expected.
How bad were you expecting?
Plus if he's doing it legally, it's all a write off.
