Because the landlord camden council doesnt have its street property Fire Safety Assessments [FSA] on its website like they do for purpose build blocks, I contacted them and requested a copy, which I was send so thanks for that.
Nothing much of alarm in the report which is good.
What did jump out at me is the photo of the front of the property they included in the assessment.
I know on the grand scheme of things that the editing of the photo isn't a big issue, but i was/am a bit confused about it and how it ended up edited and on the fire assessment for this property.
I noticed it immediately.
I won't for now point out what doesn't belong in the below photo and what should be in it but isn't.

You will also notice that the rail is on the side of the property next door where the paintwork is a darker shade.

An excerpt:
"Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2022 came into force 1st
October 2022.
All landlords including local authorities must ensure:
‘Working smoke alarms are installed in all tenanted properties and carbon
monoxide alarms installed in any tenanted properties which contain a fixed
combustion appliance. The landlords have a duty to repair and replace any
smoke alarms or carbon monoxide alarms once informed or found that they
are faulty’." British Standard (BS 5839-6)
In rental properties a minimum level of protection recommended in BS 5839-6 is
Grade D1 LD2 System.
LD2 is a system incorporating detectors in all circulation spaces that form part of
escape routes from dwellings like hallways, landings and in all specified rooms
and areas that present a high fire risk.
Notes from the 5 DMC's meetings held in March 2024
New Fire doors - problems with
Kentish Town None
Camden Town None
Gospel Oak None
Hampstead None
"replacement and additional fire doors had been installed on the Brunswick Estate, resulting in an elderly resident having his arm stuck in a door. The resident was now homebound due to being unable to get through four heavy fire doors. The TRA had been told they would be magnetised and propped open unless the alarm was raised or that they could be opened with a green button but this had only been applied to one of the doors. This had prevented a resident in a wheelchair from entering and exiting the block. Officers agreed to review the fire doors, but noted they had been required by the Fire and Rescue Service."
