www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday December 19, 2008 - 9 Wake-up call for landlords The landlord of a triplex apartment building in Oakville was recently slapped with $6,000 in fines for failing to comply with the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code. The violations were found when members of the Oakville Fire Department were called to the building in question by a fire alarm system that had falsely activated. Due to the circumstances that brought them to the building, a fire prevention officer decided to perform an inspection after which it was found that charges were appropriate. The landlord has since appeared in a Burlington court and been found guilty of failing to maintain the fire alarm system in operating condition, failing to maintain illumination for exit access and failing to install a smoke alarm inside a dwelling unit. In addition to the $6,000 in fines, the landlord also faces victim surcharges. Oakville Fire Department's Chief Fire Prevention Officer Gary Laframboise anticipates these fines will act as a wake-up call for landlords and residential building owners. "Building landlords and owners have a responsibility to make sure their residents are kept safe from fire," he said. "Owners and landlords must ensure they comply with the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code," he said. The Oakville Fire Department is reminding landlords that under the Ontario Fire Code they are required to have working smoke alarms inside every apartment unit. MADNESS!!!
