“Our inspection process [for commercial properties] is very proactive.
We do inspect 100 percent of commercial properties.
If we were to change our inspection process for commercial properties to a reactive,
complaint-based program, it would be a huge disaster for a number of reasons.

If 78% of structure fires occur in residences,

If the chances of a residential fire occuring at a rental property
are most likely higher than at an owner occupied home, how is gutting a rental inspection regime
not killing more people than would otherwise die, if the program had been left alone?

Are we our brother's keepers, or not?

Where are the leaders of the affected communities?
