During a recent government meeting, officials addressed significant fire safety violations at a property in Deltona, identified by parcel ID 80 360-502-0010. The violations pertain to non-compliance with the city’s fire codes, specifically Chapter 42, Article Four, which adopts the Florida Fire Prevention Code.

The meeting highlighted that fire extinguishers must be installed as mandated by the Florida-specific version of NFPA 1, Chapter 13, and that construction work cannot proceed until plans are reviewed and permits issued by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Additionally, it was noted that smoke alarms are required outside every sleeping area and on all levels of the dwelling, including basements, in accordance with NFPA 101.

The property was found to have multiple violations, including the absence of fire extinguishers within 75 feet of all points in the structure, and issues with slip-resistant surfaces on walking areas. Corrective actions mandated include the installation of fire extinguishers, repair of structural damages, and obtaining necessary permits for various installations, including new doors and windows.

The meeting confirmed that statutory requirements for notification of the hearing were met, with notices sent via certified mail to the property owner and posted at the property and city hall. Evidence, including photographs from a fire safety inspection conducted on January 23, 2024, was presented to the special magistrate, documenting the violations observed.

The outcome of this meeting underscores the city’s commitment to enforcing fire safety regulations and ensuring compliance to protect residents and property.
