Unsealed Ceiling Penetration in Electrical Room
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified during a facility tour and interview with the Maintenance Consultant, where an unsealed penetration was observed in the ceiling of the electrical room. The penetration, approximately four inches in size, was located on the south side of the electrical room ceiling, with a conduit passing through the space. This condition was noted during an inspection and was directly observed by the surveyor. The Maintenance Consultant explained that the facility had recently undergone utility upgrades, and the vendor responsible for the work failed to seal the penetration after completing the project. This unsealed opening was present in one of two smoke compartments within the building. No information was provided regarding any residents or their medical conditions in relation to this deficiency.
