The landlord of an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) is still failing to adhere to fire safety rules even after being fined £2,000 and £1,000 in costs for his property in Newquay.
The property was inspected on 13th March 2009 and it was found that there were insufficient or inadequate fire alarms, fire escapes and emergency escape lighting.
Mr Gage was subsequently visited 5 times and had not improved safety standards in the property to an appropriate level. Cornwall Council then decided to bring the case to the attention of the courts.
Mr Paul Gage was found guilty of 6 offences at Liskeard Magistrates Court in July 2010.
