From Congress Theater to Remain Open This Weekend, But More Inspections to Come - DNAinfo.com Chicago :... All the things in this report could be fixed in a matter of days for not that much money.
Most of the 26 "dangerous and hazardous" building code violations listed in the city's Friday motion have been resolved, Frydland said. Among the violations were obstructions of emergency exits, exposed wires, defective lighting, missing fire extinguishers and an broken ventilation system.

The owner probably contributes to the local alderman. It is Chicago and Illinois - where only the non-corrupt politician is rare.
I noticed in Derek's attachment that one of the violations was for no carbon monoxide detector.
I have not heard of this being a requirement before. Is it just because there is an emergency generator on site. Is this a standard Chicago thing, or what?

But I've never heard of CO2 detectors required and we don't have them. Then again, none of our heating systems are gas/oil, it's all across campus and the generator is outside.
CO is a poisonous gas that is a byproduct from combustion. I don't know what requirements there are for having alarms anywhere, besides the strong recommendation that each floor of a house heated with gas, oil, wood, or other fuel have a detector.
CO2 is what anything living breathes out along with being the major byproduct of combustion. At least in Washington, many new buildings where people congregate (theaters, cafeterias, classrooms) are having sensors installed to economize HVAC systems. I don't know if it is in the building code or not, but is probably a part of minimum LEED requirements. Only as much fresh air as needed to maintain healthy levels is then pumped into the space instead of running systems at full speed.
