The other night I heard someone on my fire escape joking ,and talking, I had just woken up and did not take it that seriously but I called the police anyway.Well anyway, I noticed , when i first moved in the building 1 and a half years ago that there was barbed wire, next , to the wall that was built later , then the building was here. But, when I just checked the barbared wire was gone, also,theres no latter fire latter that can go to the ground from the fire escape.HPD of couse says the grafatti, and the fact of having no fire latter is a violation, but , there this code they quoted fire code section 27.380, which basically makes it legal for anyone to build a wall next to a fire escape, and thus make it just up the the landlords discretion as to wheather or not he wants to provide security, for the tenants, I was told by a higher up that this has been going on sense 1969, the erosion of reasonable codes. I think this is absurd to cause people to live in terror, so they can provide security and thus justify jacking the rents , to me this , is just legal extortion.
