Fire Doors in Action

Interesting. this is one of those items I have always looked at during our periodic inspections(commonly referred to as 106 in MA, now 110.7). During my short stint in Lowell MA, I inspected a 500 +/- unit apartment building where I found a bulk of the fire doors to be non operable or removed completely. I failed the inspection and gave 30 days to fix all of them. the argument I got from the owners was that the fire department didn't require them to be fixed, so why should I? 30 days later and I saw them all repaired and signed off.
