Fire Inspector's Guide to
Codes, Forms, & Complaints
Linda S. Pieczynski
This groundbreaking
new book offers fire inspectors, building code officials, and anyone
in the field of building inspections a valuable resource that goes
beyond understanding the codes to actually teaching how to enforce
them.
From filing charges for non-compliance to
obtaining inspection search warrants to closing unsafe structures,
inspectors today need to have effective documentation tools and
skills to pursue fire code violators in an appropriate manner, but
are often required to do so with minimal legal training.
In response to this, The Fire Inspector’s
Guide was developed, providing inspectors with a comprehensive
set of the notices, letters, complaints and other documents that are
critical to the effective enforcement of today’s most common
problems and violations of the International Fire Code®.
Also ideal for municipal attorneys who can use
the included forms to draft legal documents, this book provides all
the forms necessary to keep reporting accurate, consistent, and
efficient.
Features:
- tables and diagrams assist
readers in understanding the various codes
- forms are universal in
approach so even if an inspector's municipality does
not use the International Fire Code®, forms can be
adopted for local use
- checklists remind inspectors
of key procedures and information, providing cases
with a better chance of remaining strong in court
- need-to-know information is
well-organized, making this a handy reference no
inspector will want to work without
- back of book
CD-ROM
provides electronic, editable versions of
necessary forms, allowing inspectors to do twice the
work in half the time
