Fire Marshall demanding list to correct

[Kim Huynh]

Hi.  We have a 5 unit property in Willimantic , CT.  We had an inspection by the fire marshall, and he gave us a long list of things to correct.  He wants us to install permanent heating in all the bedrooms which will cost alot of money that we don’t have.   My question is why was this not corrected years ago if it was so important,  and now they want the new owmers to fix it?  He also noted other miscellaneous items for us to do also, and it seems like he's making a wish list.  Why was previous owners not held accountable,  and now we are stuck with all this to do?  What are my options? When we purchased the property, we assumed the property was inspected by the town and therefore their heating and other fire requirements were up to code.  Any assistance will help, as we really do not have funds.  Thank you.
