    The proposed rules should also include door closers must meet ADA requirements, That they don’t slam shut, potentially causing injuries, and must be reasonably opened by seniors or the physically impaired. The inspection process should be monthly and reported via an HPD portal.
    Doors should be all Fire Rated with visible tags of approved ratings.
    It should also include apartment doors, not just stairwells
