Last week, I asked if anyone knows of an ordinance that requires businesses to maintain fire or smoke detection systems that are monitored 24/7. I've drafted such an ordinance for the council's consideration. When certain conditions exist, the ordinance requires compliance for new construction, remodeled spaces, and upon change of ownership or primary use. It also requires existing businesses to bring their buildings into compliance within 6 months of the passage of the ordinance. Do you have any concerns that the requirement that existing businesses comply within 6 months is not legally enforceable? (I believe there are likely significant issues with enforcement from a practical standpoint. That's not what I'm concerned about here, though.) Thank you, Kim Spady
