Why in God’s name are these people allowed to have any means of cooking on these roof decks? How many fires do
we have to have before someone comes up with a law to forbid any means of cooking on roofs. Roof Decks are very
nice, no doubt about it, but if we have to continue to worry about fires on roof decks, THE CITY & FIRE DEPT. HAVE
TO make it a priority & SEE HOW SAFE IT IS FOR COOKING ON ROOFS & DETERMINE
IF THE REWARD IS WITH THE RISK OF ENDANGERING OTHERS LIVES.
Open fires on decks above the ground floor are prohibited by city and state fire ordinances and fire laws. That means charcoal or wood or propane grills are illegal.. (Electric grills are OK.) And if I am not mistaken, propane tanks are also prohibited by law from being stored in a dwelling. Problem is, as always, lack of enforcement. Owners and Condo boards frequently ignore the risks and the fire laws. (Perhaps because often the owners and condo board members themselves are those who also violate the laws.) Complain to the Mayors office. Or ask the fire department whom to complain to about violations.
BOB SKOLE,, Thank you so much for your comment. You summed it up when you said LACK OF ENFORCEMENT.
This has been the battle cry for far too many years. It is unbelievable what tenants as well as slumlords are
getting away with in our small little neighborhood. I hate to say this Bob, but what I have witnessed thru these years
has made me sick to my stomach, therefore, it leads me to believe one thing, PAYOFFS. I have been at the affect
of a slumlord for years. I have had to deal with rats eating my car wires, trash being thrown over a fence where I
park my car & this man has been hit with so many violations & is still in violation & I ask, where is the JUSTICE. I can’t
wait for the hearing up City Hall regarding this Slumlord, because I will definitely be there. Restaurants in the North
End that were wheel chair accessible with previous owners, now have the restrooms in the basement & I have had
City Employees tell me that the restrooms were always down the Basement, which is an out an out LIE. I always
frequent this restaurant & restrooms were always on the street floor & if this wasn’t a payoff, I would love to hear
another explanation. The people in the No. End do not stick together like Beacon Hill. Beacon Hill Residents show
up at Neighborhood Meetings & they seem to fight for their rights & get what they want. I am a firm believer in
where there is a Will there is a Way. We need the full cooperation of City Officials & we have to get rid of the
City Employees who are making it possible for these Slumlords to get away with what they get away with. The City
should be hiring spotters to see who is actually getting paid off, the proof will be in the deplorable properties that these
slumlords own. I believe in Miracles & that is what it is going to take to clean up this Neighborhood that we love.
