Every commercial occupancy or multi-family residential property consisting of three or more dwelling units are subject to an annual fire safety inspection, subsequent follow-up inspections, or inspection if and when a complaint is filed with the fire department regarding the safety of the building. It is the building owner’s responsibility to ensure the fire department has up to date contact information for all commercial or multifamily residential units with three dwellings or more (Chapter 40, Town of Maynard By-Laws).
