	REVIEW COMMENTS - FIRE DEPARTMENT

	THE LAST FIRE INSPECTION ON RECORD FOR THIS LOCATION
	WAS IN 2002 FOR A ROOMING HOUSE. A RECENT AUGUST
	INSPECTION CONFIRMED AN EXISTING ROOMING HOUSE
	OCCUPANCY . DURING INSPECTION IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE
	BUILDING HAS BEEN SEVERLY DAMAGED BY VANDALS, WATER AND
	POSSIBLY TERMITES.

	WHEN AN OCCUPANCY CHANGES FROM AN EXISTING ROOM HOUSE
	TO NEW APARTMENTS, THE APARTMENT BUILDING IS REQUIRED
	TO BE PROTECTED BY AN AUTOMATIC SUPERVISED FIRE
	SPRINKLER SYSTEM.

	UPGRADING AND REPAIRING THE STAIRS NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO
	PERMIT APPLICATION SCOPE OF WORK. GUARDS, AT LEAST
	42-INCHES TALL, SHALL BE PROVIDED AT THE OPEN SIDES OF
	MEANS OF EGRESS (STAIRS, MEZZANINE, ETC.) THAT EXCEED
	30-INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR. OPEN GUARDS SHALL PROHIBIT
	THE PASSAGE OF A 4-INCH DIAMETER SPHERE UP TO A HEIGHT
	OF 34-INCHES. THE TRIANGULAR OPENINGS FORMED BY THE
	RISER, TREAD AND BOTTOM ELEMENT OF THE GUARDRAIL SHALL
	PROHIBIT THE PASSAGE OF A 6-INCH DIAMETER SPHERE.
