They can make you remove a bed from a room that doesnt have a proper egress window, but I do not believe they can fine you for a room that has a legal egress window.

If anything I think those appraisals might be slightly easier since they give more weight to the income approach rather than the sales comparison approach, and he didn't go in any of the units so he wouldn't have had to make any adjustments for unit condition.Or for all I know, it's none of the above.
