the ability to seek the imposition of $550 penalties against you (yes, in multiples if necessary), and the authority to enter your townhouse for the purpose of installing window locking devices there of a type that’s compliant (of which the $5 item is one) whether you like it or not!
Yes but this $550 penalty can only be applied after they have lost their case at Adjudication (which I doubt they would as they already have locks on the windows) and refused to comply with the Adjudication ruling. If it ever got this far they would only have to comply with the adjudication to avoid the fine.
Also these child proof locks have the ability to be disabled with a key to enable the window to be fully opened (which satisfies the fire escape concern) and nobody has explained to my satisfaction why a locked window is not considered childproof if locked shut.
