April 28th doesn't help condo owners like myself that work during the week and live a few hours away. I agree that they should not be able to impose any bans like this as long as you are in compliance with the codes. I think this would suck for all complexes. Inspections this past summer revealed serious problems with all the fireplaces in my complex and the state fire marshal banned the use of each fireplace until they were brought up to code. As a result most owners of our units have been spending a great deal of money to replace the fireplaces or put in gas inserts.
I do agree safety is important and I can't argue either about the false alarms. I wouldn't have an issue with requirements for ensuring compliance with state codes, but an outright ban seems crazy.
