2044 Midland Ave 4 code violation for smoke detectors and egress

A property maintenance complaint filed as a code violation alleges serious safety problems at 2044 Midland Ave, Unit 4; the owner is listed as William E. Cowley Jr. & Mary D. Cowley. The complainant says the unit lacks a first-floor smoke detector, has non-code front-door locks and no usable back egress (the window is reportedly 72 inches high), plus mold, possible lead-paint issues, broken sash ropes, a crumbling chimney, and electrical problems that won’t support basic appliances. The record also notes the complainant alleges the unit was misrepresented in size and bedroom count, and that the Louisville Fire Department routed the concerns to Code Enforcement for follow-up.
