Remove Doormats in Hallways of Units Without Coves

Posted By jgoodman on March 18, 2021

In Chapter 10 of the California Fire Code it prohibits
obstructions that prevent evacuation in the event of a
fire. Door mats can be a tripping hazard, they interfere
with floor cleaning, and can be liability to the owners.
Please remove your door mat if it is in the hallway, and if
you do not have a cove entrance to your unit.

Thank you for your cooperation on these building
requirement.
