due to some human or mechaninal failure.

B. Every building or structure shall be designed, constructed, equipped, maintained

and operated to avoid danger to the lives and ensure safety of its occupants from
fire, smoke, vapor and fumes, during the period of escape from the building or
structure.

C. Every building or structure shall be providedwith exits of kind, number, location and
capacity appropriate to the individual building or structure, with due regard to the
character of the occupancy, the number of persons exposed, the fire protection
available and the height and type of construction of the building or structure, to
