Summary

The facility failed to maintain its automatic sprinkler system, as evidenced by several deficiencies observed during a survey. On the second floor, ceiling tiles were missing in the Mechanical Room, and similar issues were noted in the first floor IT Server Room. Additionally, the attic-level dry sprinkler system was found to be non-functional at the time of the survey. The facility also lacked an automatic sprinkler system inspection report for the fourth quarter of 2024, and was overdue for the required five-year internal valve, internal piping, and sprinkler gauge recalibration or replacement. These deficiencies were confirmed during an exit interview with the Facility Administrator and the Facilities Manager.
