Insurance....... hey prove you insulated those walls

Sure heres a before and after photo with signs in photos identifying
locations

With walls open its time to make all upgrades, since you can get more
rent for a modern good looking apartment, and better tenants

*low lives wouldnt want to pay more and go elsewhere

I agree , but all the apartments were redone in 07 to like new, so its
really a pain in the ass this job.

What caused the fire? Appliances?

If a faulty appliance caused the fire, well, there are lawyers
chomping at the bit.

circumstances in which an insurance company tries to recoup expenses
for a claim it paid out when another party should have been
responsible for paying at least a portion of that claim."- Hide quoted text -

Gang related, a gasolene bomb, and they went for the wrong guy the
cops said. So it spread real fast at 330 am on the coldest night of
the year, near 0. 47 doors and windows the fire dept busted out,

The windows I understand, as the fire department needs to vent
the heat and smoke before they clear the scene to make sure
that the fire is actually put out and won't flashover again after they
leave...

But the doors ? *Did this building not have a knox lockbox for keys ?

Seems like something you would want to look into...

They just used the ax on everything, its more fun I guess. And all the
tenants were home, alarms were blaring, but they busted the front and
rear apartment doors,


Tenants being home means nothing, some doors will lock behind a
person leaving requiring a key to enter... When people are running
for their lives they don't stop to collect their keys...

Fire Departments HATE to use force to gain entry... Think of it this
way -- every door that has to be forced open in non-lifesaving
situation
is a potential for an on-duty accident and disability, that is a large
risk
exposure for routine entry scenarios... They would rather use a set
of
keys reserved for their exclusive use secured on the premises in a
knox system keybox...

It sounds as if your building doesn't have one... You should talk to
the people in the fire prevention office/inspection office with the
Fire Department about installing one... A few hundred dollars now
is worth not having to spend that each time a door must be opened
and you or your tenants aren't at home to unlock a door...
