If a building representative refuses entry to any portion of a building, what should MFD personnel do?

When a building representative refuses entry to any part of a building, the protocol for MFD personnel is to honor that refusal and notify Fire Inspections Services. This approach underscores the importance of respecting the rights of property owners while also ensuring safety and compliance with fire codes.

By notifying Fire Inspections Services, personnel are following established procedures that allow for proper evaluation of the situation. Fire Inspections Services can then address the refusal appropriately, possibly following up with the building representative to discuss the reasons for the entry denial and assess any fire safety concerns that may need to be resolved.

This action helps maintain a professional relationship with the building management while ensuring that safety and regulatory compliance are not compromised.
