fire code violations
Building safety breaches
Fire code violations are breaches of regulations designed to prevent fires and ensure safe evacuation.
Common violations include blocked exits, missing fire extinguishers, faulty sprinkler systems, and improper storage of flammable materials.
Building inspectors issue citations for violations, which can result in fines or forced closure: The nightclub was shut down after inspectors found multiple fire code violations.
