Background
On September 27, 2018, SB 1205 became effective, and added a new section to the California
Health and Safety Code which affects every fire department or fire district in the State. Existing
state law requires every fire department or district providing fire protection services to inspect
every building used as a public or private school annually. This same annual inspection
requirement isapplicable to hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment houses. This bill also
requires every fire department or district to annually report to its administering authority their
compliance with the annual inspection requirements of the California Health and Safety Code.
The bill also requires the administering authority to formally acknowledge receipt of the
compliance report in a resolution or a similar formal document.
Discussion
The responsibility for conducting the required inspections falls to the Fire Division as directed by
the Assistant Fire Marshal. In conducting these inspections, Fire Divisionstaff review compliance
with such items as fire sprinkler and fire alarm maintenance, safe exiting, fire extinguisher
maintenance, conducting fire drills, and safe storage of combustibles.
In review of all completed inspections the Assistant Fire Marshal has determined that all required
inspections have been completed for Calendar Year 2019. Adoption of the recommended
resolution and transmittal appropriate State Agency will meet the City’s obligation under SB 1205.
