HiWe recently asked for fire retrofit inspection of our building as it is needed for refinance, some of the units didn't pass audibility test, so we added wireless interconnected (battery-operated) alarms into the units, but fire inspectors require hardwired interconnected smoke alarms or horns to be added to each unit, which was estimated at over $5000 on electrician work.We asked them to check with fire marshall, who said wireless interconnected (battery-operated) alarms are alternative solutions, but fire inspector still disapproves what we did because they don't feel comfortable about battery-operated alarms. 

@Aj Parikh I got smoked on a few Roofstock "deals".

Your smoking "hopeium"! 

I'm just a little confused on what the application asks and if it inquires about pets and/or smoking.

They do a super brief inspection (like open the door and look for a smoke detector) and sign your paperwork and leave.

I have been here making repairs for the past couple weeks and one of the tenants is smoking marijuana constantly with a 2 year old girl in the unit. 

We also write in our leases that we can inspect smoke detectors once a month, so we can enter the properties regularly and take a look around.

I convinced them to forgo the sprinklers as i put in hard wired smokes. 

No smoking of ANY kind.

I know in my last apartment, they checked your apartment six months in, to check fire/smoke detectors and at renewal.
