In that Mar-A-Lago is a club (as opposed to solely a private residence), he could send in a team of inspectors and shut the place down if code violations posed a danger to the public. Indeed, if this well-publicized infraction did in fact occur, I would bet that the Fire Chief has already spoken to the folks at MAL.
Blocking the means of egress in such a building is a very serious code infraction. In a fire at a chicken processing plant in NC where the means of egress were locked,
25 were killed and 55 injured.
Three officials of the plant were charged with manslaughter.
These kind of infractions are considered among the worst in that locking/blocking means of egress is generally perceived by authorities as a deliberate and willful act.
