1. Fire Inspections for High Density Residential and Businesses
The purpose is to maintain the safety and lessen the threat of hostile fires to business and ensure
that our citizens and visitors to our city are protected from fire-related emergencies.
Currently, the Fire Marshal inspects Lauderdale’s commercial business and multi-family rental
dwellings common areas. In Falcon Heights, the Fire Marshal inspects rental houses with 1, 2,
or 3 dwelling units. There are approximately 30 larger rental buildings in the city, ranging from
5 to 119 units, with a current total of 704 rental units.
Staffs are proposing a program that would require fire inspections of the common areas of the
buildings. If City Council approves the program, a complementary fire inspection begin in
early fall so that businesses and large rentals have an idea of their existing hazards before the
program officially begins.
