It is not fair for homeowners to pay tax dollars to subsidize costs generated by the business community. I had some violations on my last inspection report. How long you have to rectify a code violation depends on the code that is broken. We are allowed a certain amount of flexibility with some codes. Generally, most violations should be corrected within 15 days.
Some violations require more immediate action.
Your Fire Inspector will let you know if any such conditions exist. Keep in mind that these codes have been written not to be a burden to business owners. For every code that the Fire Department enforces, more than likely someone has had to die in order for the code to be written into law. By enforcing fire prevention and building codes, the City of Waukesha Fire Department can help ensure that our community is as safe as it possibly can be for our customers, friends, relatives, and ourselves. Once a year your extinguishers must be serviced by a certified fire extinguisher company.
