Carbon Monoxide Detector Not Properly Installed in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
During a recertification survey, it was observed that carbon monoxide detection was not provided in accordance with adopted regulations. Specifically, a carbon monoxide detector was found placed on a shelf below the steamtable in the main kitchen, rather than being installed as required in the area by the gas fuel fired stove. This observation was made during a walkthrough of the kitchen, and the improper placement of the detector did not meet the requirements set forth by state and local codes, as well as the 2015 International Fire Code, Section 915. The deficiency was confirmed through both direct observation and interview with the Director of Maintenance, who acknowledged the issue with the installation location of the carbon monoxide detector.
