Sound like an awesome neighbor.

Wait, so the fire department cracks down on them pretty good or you do? And are you pretty sure they are illegal or are they factually illegal, ergo citations were actually issued.

One thing I am certain, I'm confused.

Haha, the wording was confusing. NO, I DID NOT call the city or the fire department, THEY came to my DT complex and issued citations/warnings. They DO NOT mess around with fire codes DT. I didn't have a grill, but wanted one, but several of my neighbors were cited and had to remove. We always had a common area grill per code. I remember this being a big deal publicly a year or maybe two ago, and Councilwoman Meg Salyer spoke out on the issue. I'll dig up the info when I get a chance.

If only history wasn't full of entire cities that burned down....

Don't many urban developments provide a common grilling area?

Yes

I'm pretty sure this passed.

And from KFOR in July, there you have it folks, not in a multi-unit complex, except common grilling area approved by code.

Grease fires can be a problem if someone isn't careful. Had jalapeno burgers the other day and that fire was burning like crazy. lol

Subsection 20-23 of the OKC Municipal Code references the codes from the National Fire Protection Association and the International Fire Code. These Standards are adopted in their entirety. They ban balcony grills. This is more or less the standard across the US, like many building codes that have been adopted.

When I lived in Denver, the building I lived in was strict in their adherence to what the city of Denver allowed, no charcoal, 1 lb bottles of propane only.

Okay. I take it back. You are a good neighbor.

All references there are about gas or charcoal grills. I have heard of electric grills being banned by some complexes. Does anyone know if that is relevant to the codes? That seems no more dangerous that using an electric skillet in your kitchen.

[Rover]

I've never heard of electric grilles being banned. However, if you are using a small, cheap extension cord for a device with a large load you can create a fire risk. That doesn't just apply on a balcony, but anywhere. Inefficient transmission or loose connections create inneficiencies. With electricity, inefficiencies result in heat. Fires do start with bad electric wiring.

Just saw on FB that Waffle Champion is going into the restaurant space here. Great news for Midtown and waffle lovers!

[Pete]

Fantastic news!

Great for Midtown and for Waffle Champion.



Holy Cats, it feels like Midtown is really getting ready to explode.

[betts]

We so needed a great breakfast option to iHop in downtown/Midtown and I love Waffle Champion. I do hope they don't give up their truck though.

[lasomeday]

They told me today their goal is to open Feburary 2013. That is their goal...

Does anyone know if there are any units still available at this property, and if so, how much is monthly rent? I tried emailing Midtown Renaissance, but haven't heard back yet.

If you get any info, please share.

they were fully leased before the building was completed

[Rover]

They should still have the courtesy of returning calls.

[Urban Pioneer]

I am not sure if anyone from MidTown Renaissance reads this forum but I had the same experience last month when I was moving here. I was even told by people to keep trying to call because they are not known for getting back in touch. Scouts honor, that was the word on the street.

Yeah, you have to keep calling and I think getting into one of the existing properties is by sure luck at this point. There isn't a waiting list it seems.

[shawnw]

May not be right anymore, but here's something I got in April.

Maybe I'm a relic but if I was trying to contact someone about a place to live I wouldn't rely on email for my first option.

[ljbab728]

Well, I'm not sure if I am a relic either but I much prefer the phone, which is why that is how I reached out to them. Perhaps I did wrong and should have sent a bunch of emails?

Not in my opinion, Sid. But what do we know, LOL. Actually my first option would be to go to visit someone in person.
