Why the Key Colony Beach Code Enforcement Officer suddenly violated hundreds of rental property owners for "egress windows"?

» The Florida Building Code has specified egress windows in bedrooms for years but the city didn't seem to know about it.
» It was a necessary upgrade but the law and the city's LDR allow a reasonable time to come into compliance.
» Code Enforcement forced homeowners to cancel existing contracts with no notice.
» Code Enforcement made the change punitive instead of working with the homeowners to improve the community.
» Florida has 267 cities, 123 towns, and 21 villages making a total of 411 municipalities in 67 counties. Apparently only one out of those 411 has decided to enforce the egress window edict on existing properties.
