Description

The Peerless Rug Co. is remodeling apartments that have not been used in decades. There are 5 lots for the company that have been combined on the first floor for the showroom. There are no fire walls between the buildings. The new apartments are a significant fire risk as the carpet company building is stuffed full from the floor to the rafters with fuel for a fire. Carpets are packed together. No maintenance or very little since 1938. The building is infested with rats, bats and pigeons. There is a strong odor of a chemical solvent in and behind the building - smells like cleaning fluid or dry cleaning fluid. No one is sure if it is flammable.
