The owner of a building in Camberwell, London, has been given a six month suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of seven different offences under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Saif Ahmed was sentenced to 150 hours of community service and fined £13,000 in costs, following a trial at Tower Bridge magistrates' court.

His property in Camberwell Church Street was first visited by fire safety officers in December 2009.

The basement and ground floors were being used as a takeaway restaurant, while sleeping accommodation was provided on the first, second and third floors.
Among the breaches identified were a lack of fire alarms and emergency lighting, while doors to the sleeping quarters were not fire resistant or self-closing.

The staircase connecting the floors was also found not to be fire protected, while no alternate routes of escape had been provided from the sleeping accommodation. Assistant commissioner for fire safety regulation Steve Turek said: "It is essential that building owners understand their responsibilities under fire safety law.

"London Fire Brigade works hard to ensure individuals and companies understand their responsibilities under fire safety law and only uses prosecution as a last resort but this verdict sends out a clear message that if they ignore fire safety then they will face serious penalties."

Fire risk assessments are required on sleeping accommodation for staff, common areas in residential buildings, bed and breakfasts, guest houses, holiday chalets, holiday flat complexes, camping and caravan sites, holiday parks and hotels
