Who owns this firetrap? Any Section 8?  All that rent money for years and landlord did nothing. How could the city allow an owner to  use any bldg with that many units and limited escape routes and no sprinklers be used as rentals for families and children? Oh that's right the low income shouldn't gripe. Evidently renter's lives don't matter else they would have been required to bring it up to code with sprinkler upgrades with the thousands of dollars in rent landlord collects each month. If it was too expensive then shut it down for rentals. Smoke alarms isn't any help when fire moves that quickly in an old bldg with  limited or no escape access. People had to jump out of windows from second and third stories up. Renters Unite! You have rights.
