Brighton tenant asks board to remove strobing lights from fire alarms as accommodation
Summary
Tenant Maria Blea told the Brighton Housing Authority board the May 27 fire alarm used strobing lights and requested a reasonable accommodation to replace the alarms with a non-strobing system; she noted a voluntary compliance agreement is nearing its end.
Maria Blea, a Brighton Housing Authority tenant who joined the meeting by Zoom, told commissioners the building fire alarm activated on May 27, 2026 with strobing lights and asked for an accommodation.
"I requested a reasonable accommodation for the fire alarms to be switched out to a fire system without strobing lights," Blea said. She also said the voluntary compliance agreement related to the issue will be ending soon, raising concern about the timeline for implementing any change.
The transcript records Blea’s request during the public-comment portion of the June 4 meeting but does not include details on the building or unit affected, the specific model of alarm, or any staff response or follow-up timeline. The board did not record a formal action on the request at that meeting; next procedural steps were not specified in the transcript.
