CHAPTER 7. The code of the city of Charlottesville,
Virginia, 1945 : | ||
Sec. 31. Fire escapes.
It shall be the duty of the owner of every factory, workshop,
mill, saw-mill, place where the manufacture of goods of any kind
is carried on, hotel, school building, college, hospital, orphan
asylum, mercantile establishment and office building of over three
stories in height, or where as many as fifteen persons are employed,
lodged, entertained or instructed above the second story of
such building, and theaters and public places of amusement, regardless
of height, to provide for the safe exit of the occupants
thereof in case of fire by the erection, construction and maintenance
in good condition of fire escapes of the most improved
modern design and of fireproof construction.
The owner of any building upon which a fire escape is erected
shall keep the same in good repair and properly painted.
No fire escapes to buildings hereafter erected shall be constructed
over any sidewalk or street.
Fire escapes in new or old buildings shall be easily accessible
from the inside of the building in which they are placed by means
of unobstructed corridors or passageways, and shall in every
case have the location approved by the building inspector. All
doors leading to fire escapes shall be labeled "Fire Escapes" in
letters three inches high, plainly visible, and shall be provided with
locks not requiring keys.
All exterior fire escapes shall be constructed in accordance with
the latest regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
An exterior fire escape will not be required in fireproof buildings
where each story above the first has at least two means of
exit remote from each other, one of these opening to a street or
fireproof passage leading to a street, and the other opening to a
