Building Construction Type Exceeds Allowable Height
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the building construction requirements as per NFPA 101 standards. During a document review and interview conducted on December 12, 2024, it was found that the building is classified as a three-story, Type V(III), protected wood frame construction, which is fully sprinklered. However, this classification exceeds the maximum allowable story height for this type of construction by one story. This deficiency affects the entire component of the facility, as confirmed during the exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director.
Plan Of Correction
I am requesting the Department of Health do the FSES in this case. Facility is consulting Lenhardt Rodgers Architecture to assist with this citation. Facility will also be requesting a TLW.
