Summary
The facility failed to ensure the fire alarm system was properly tested and maintained in accordance with NFPA 70 and NFPA 72 standards. Observations revealed a standing supervisory alarm on the main fire alarm panel for a tamper switch in the main riser room, as well as a standing trouble alarm on the fire alarm system. Additionally, a tamper switch in the riser room was found not wired into anything, and a pull station near the dining room exit door was blocked by a display board, making it not visible. These deficiencies were confirmed through interview with the maintenance director at the time of observation.
