What Uptown buildings actually need

Uptown has some of the largest vintage apartment buildings on the North Side — courtyard blocks with dozens of units, multiple stairs and long corridors, many now condo associations. Buildings at that scale have real alarm systems rather than standalone detectors, and those systems need the full device-by-device annual test, not a panel check.

The area's historic theatres and assembly spaces add an occupancy type with much stricter egress requirements: more exit signage, more emergency lighting on the path out, and less tolerance for a unit that fails its 90-minute test.

Along Clark Street the businesses are mostly long-standing independents — restaurants, groceries, bakeries — where the equipment has been in place for years and the service history is worth reconstructing properly.
