After repair blitz, 500 fire code violations remain in D.C. schools

There are nearly 500 fire code violations in the D.C. school system, a formidable obstacle likely to take the rest of the school year and millions of dollars to overcome, officials told The Examiner Tuesday.

Tony Robinson, director of communications for school facilities chief Allen Lew, said the 492 existing violations are down from a high of 2,520 fire code failings a few months ago.
