COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - The Columbia Housing Authority is in violation of the International Fire Code, according to Columbia Fire Department officials.
Officials said that the Columbia Fire Department last inspected Allen Benedict Court Apartments in 2014 - one year prior to the International Fire Code being updated to reflect the requirement of carbon monoxide detectors in units with a fuel burning appliance.
The Fire Code states that Carbon Monoxide detectors are required.
