Angela Chang pleaded guilty to six breaches of a fire safety order at Great Fortune House and 16 St Georges Lane

A landlord has been jailed and ordered to pay £10,414 after she "put the lives and safety of residents and employees at risk" by failing to comply with fire safety regulations.

They were occupied at the time by several employees of the Great Fortune House, a family of three and a builder undertaking work on the premises. Officers found that they weren't equipped with appropriate fire detectors and alarms and pictures showed the properties were filled with rubbish and old old mattresses which prevented her tenants from exiting the building safely.

Ian Armistead, protection department group manager for LFRS, said: "Ms Angela Chang is the responsible person for these premises, and as such has a legal duty to ensure that people who use her premises are provided with a safe environment. We hope that this prosecution will ensure that the standard of her properties is kept within the requirements of the law.
