A late-night fire forced the temporary closure of Son’s Liquor & Wines in Hempstead, though residents living in the building’s second-floor apartments were permitted to return to their homes.
💡 Five Town Homes & Living — Property owners in mixed-use buildings should verify that their fire insurance policies specifically cover loss of rental income and business interruption costs associated with ground-floor commercial fires. Residents in similar multi-family units must confirm that their individual smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are hardwired and interconnected to ensure early alerts across all levels of the structure. Reviewing your lease or building bylaws for specific emergency egress protocols is a necessary step to ensure you know exactly how to exit the building if a ground-floor fire blocks the primary stairwell. **We recommend that all local tenants and landlords conduct a formal review of their building’s fire safety compliance and insurance coverage today.**
Staying informed on local property safety.
If you are concerned about fire safety standards in a potential new home, we help you ask the right questions regarding building inspections and safety certifications during the due diligence phase. We’re your advocates, not just your agents.
