(CNN) R. Kelly's attorney is sounding off after a judge put a curfew on the use of R&B singer's Chicago recording studio due to allegations of multiple building code violations. In January, Judge Patrice Ball-Reed ordered the second floor of Kelly's studio -- which was being used as a bedroom -- closed because it posed fire hazards. The judge also limited Kelly's use of the building to 12 hours a day between 9 a.m. and 9p.m. Steve Greenberg, Kelly's attorney, posted a statement on Twitter Wednesday comparing Kelly to Beethoven and other musicians, writers and inventors -- including Leo Tolstoy, Sigmund Freud and F. Scott Fitzgerald -- who "worked and wrote during the night." "Robert Kelly has been ordered by a judge to not to be creative between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m.," Greenberg wrote.
