BOS:311

Please forward this inspection request to both ISD and the BFD Fire Prevention Legal Unit. For over a year (since at least July 2025), the property management at 34 Cambridge St (The Graphic Lofts) has allowed the fire alarm system to exhibit up to 5 simultaneous and recurring trouble conditions--usually unacknowledged (flashing). Despite the landlord requesting unit access for "fire alarm testing," they have not made substantial, lasting, or complete repairs to the system. BFD issued violation #V081905027 against this property in January, and since then the system has never shown "normal" status for more than a few weeks at a time. Whatever is wrong with this system, it is not being repaired correctly, and another inspection (and subsequent code enforcement) is needed. For the safety of all 112 households in this wood-framed structure, please ensure this recurring code violation is promptly and comprehensively resolved. Thank you.
