Buying a Duplex?
When purchasing a duplex, it is important to understand the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code Retrofit Section (9.8). This section of the fire code applies to existing buildings with two self-contained units or more. The requirements of this code were to be met by July1996. The retrofit code (9.8) deals with four critical areas: fire separation, means of egress, smoke alarms and the electrical system. The electrical system may require inspection by the Electrical Safety Authority, if so determined by the fire prevention officer performing the retrofit inspection.
As an expert in the older homes found in Ottawa South and the Glebe, Tracy Arnett can provide you with more information about the charms of owning a property in these areas. For inquiries or a referral regarding the Ontario Fire Code Retrofit Section, please feel free to call Tracy at (613) 238-2801.
