101.14 Annotation
Inspection of buildings for safety and fire prevention purposes under s. 101.14 does not involve a quasi-judicial function within meaning of s. 895.43 (3) [now 893.80 (4)]. Coffey v. Milwaukee,
74 Wis. 2d 526,
247 N.W.2d 132 (1976).
101.14 Annotation
Sub. (4m) (b) limits the authority of the department of commerce under s. 101.02 (15) and sub. (4) (a) only insofar as it mandates the department to require sprinkler systems in multifamily dwellings that exceed twenty units or the specified floor area. Sub. (4m) (b) plainly does not restrict the authority of the department under other statutory provisions to promulgate rules requiring fire protection devices in multifamily dwellings that have fewer dwelling units or a smaller floor area than that specified in the statute.
