Résumé

The summary states that a building containing independent dwellings, occupied by persons without neighbourly relations and often unfamiliar with the premises, is to be regarded as presenting special fire-prevention risks within the meaning of Art. 5(2) RALPSIN.

Regest

Art. 5 al. 2 RALPSIN; special fire-prevention risks in residential buildings. A building composed of autonomous flats occupied by persons lacking any neighbourly relationship and often unfamiliar with the premises qualifies as a structure presenting special risks for fire prevention. The assessment turns not on the mere residential character of the building but on the increased difficulty of rapid intervention, supervision, and mutual assistance among occupants, which may justify heightened preventive measures.
