The first issue is the fire startegy of the building, all escape routes must remain clear, however clear means that the design width of the escape route must be maintained without any pinch points.
The next issue is how many tennants are in the flats and are there more than 1 means of escape, remember under the new legislation lifts are designated as a means of escape provided the correct fire engineering has been completed.
The third point is have any areas been designated as fire safe areas or rescue points, and if so how large are these areas and could you fit all the vehicles in this area
Finally, as the landlord you have responsibility for the safety of all tennants and will be required to carry out a risk assessment of the present situation and suggest improvement to improve the fire safety of all

With the changes to the design and reliability of lift services, this is now the safest and quickest method of escaping from tall buildings
