FIRE INSPECTION


FYI – Just had an surprise fire inspection on my brownstone.

I had just replaced the sprinklers though out the building.

one fireman went up to the roof. While I went with the other to the basement.

I have about 4 contractors upstairs working at this time. I had opened the roof trap door to let air in (they are painting).

As they are leaving the dude who went to the roof tells me my skylight is cracked.

me – weird? I was just up there.

Fireman – it didn’t leak water during the last rain storm.

me – no, but thanks for the heads up I’ll have it fixed.

they leave. Then my contractor tells me that he broke it! They all heard a crash and then saw him put his foot on it and crack the glass! Be aware this guy was Africian american with a tattoo around his collar bone.

Went up to check and the trap door was thrown over (upside down), which I never do, I just slide it.

MESSED UP RIGHT!
ALSO THIS IS FT. GREENE!
