The FOX 8 I TEAM has uncovered fire safety concerns in one of Cleveland’s trendiest neighborhoods, East 4th Street downtown.
The fire marshal recently filed a violation notice against the landlord for the block as firefighters started wondering what if they had to fight a big fire there?
The street has exploded in popularity, and it’s often filled with people crowded shoulder-to-shoulder going to the bars and restaurants. The street is lined with patios where people eat outside, and it’s lined with apartments, too.
Firefighters took a new look at the block after a small fire there months ago. They became concerned because the street has become more and more congested with outdoor tables, hanging lights, and more.
