Dayton Ch. 113 Rental Dwellings § 113.083 requires that any fire sprinkler or fire alarm system already installed in a rental dwelling be kept in proper working order consistent with the current Fire Code. The rule does not mandate the installation of new systems, but it does establish a continuing maintenance obligation for systems that exist. Failure to meet this standard can trigger the penalty provisions referenced in § 113.999.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.083, property owners and managers who have fire sprinkler or fire alarm systems installed in their rental buildings are expected to keep those systems maintained and compliant with the current Fire Code at all times. Compliant operators typically schedule regular inspections, address any deficiencies promptly, and retain documentation of service and testing records. Penalties for non-compliance are governed by § 113.999, so staying current on maintenance is a routine operational priority.
