Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Locks on all gates

Check with your local fire or building inspector regarding the locked gates. If the locked gates violate the fire code or building code, the code enforcement people should take care enforcing the code.

Re: Locks on all gates

In reply to your inquiry, let me offer

the following:

I'm not exactly sure of the answer, but one would think there should be

some type of "panic" hardware intalled.

Mr. Johnson, though, is absolutely correct -

You should be able to get the information from

your local Building & Safety Department. Most

sizeable cities have such an entity, so

check with your city. If they don't, try the

county in which the property is located.

If you don't have any luck there, let me know

and I'll see what I can dig up. You'll need to

let me know the location of the property, if you

do contact me. Best of luck and feel free to

let me know if you have questions or comments.

Now, let me give the "de rigeur" caveat:

The foregoing information is provided as an

accommodation only, and does not constitute legal

advice or a legal opinion based on a comprehensive

review of all relevant facts and documents, nor can

provision of such information be construed as

creating an attorney-client relationship.
