| | CASE NUMBER Z10120012 |
| | |
| | THESE COMMENTS ARE BASED UPON A SITE VISIT PERFORMED BY |
| | THE FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT ON DECEMBER 22, 2010 AND |
| | OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CITY STAFF. |
| | |
| | 1. ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY A PARTIALLY |
| | ENCLOSED EXIT STAIR EXISTS WHICH PROVIDES EXITING FROM |
| | A CONVERGENCE POINT BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS. THIS |
| | EXIT STAIR APPEARS TO BE REQUIRED SINCE THE EXTERIOR |
| | FIRE ESCAPE AND EXIT DOORS FROM ONE BUILDING AND |
| | ANOTHER EXIT DOOR FROM THE OTHER BUILDING CAN LOAD TO |
| | THESE STAIRS FOR EXITING. |
| | |
| | 2. IT APPEARS THAT BOTH BUILDINGS CONTAIN AUTOMATIC |
| | FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS AND SEPARATE FIRE DEPARTMENT |
| | CONNECTIONS EXIST. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY CITY STAFF |
| | THAT A FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM MAY BE FED FROM A 3" |
| | UNDERGROUND FIRE MAIN THAT WAS INSTALLED SEVERAL |
| | DECADES AGO. IF A 3" UNDERGROUND LINE IS SUPPLYING |
| | WATER TO A FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IT MUST BE DOCUMENTED |
| | AND PROVEN THAT THIS LINE CAN HYDRAULICALLY SUPPLY THE |
| | DEMANDS FOR THE FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 3. IT APPEARS THAT SEPARATE FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS EXIST |
| | FOR EACH BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 4. DURING THE SITE VISIT, CODE VIOLATIONS WERE |
| | DISCOVERED IN EACH BUILDING AND THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS |
| | RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FROM THIS OFFICE AND IT |
| | IS THE EXPECTATION THAT THESE CODE VIOLATIONS BE |
| | CORRECTED. THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE 303 EVERNIA STREET |
| | BUILDING WAS VACANT AT TIME OF THE FIRE RESCUE VISIT. |
| | |
| | 5. THIS OFFICE CANNOT COMMENT CURRENTLY ON THE |
| | INDEPENDENCE OR SHARED MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING |
| | SYSTEMS FOR THE BUILDINGS. |
| | |
| | 6. IT APPEARS THAT METAL INFRASTRUCTURE EXISTS BETWEEN |
| | THE TWO BUILDINGS THAT FORMS THE FRAMEWORK (PLATFORM, |
| | STAIRS,CONNECTION POINTS) THAT ESTABLISHES EXIT ACCESS |
| | FROM THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED PARTIALLY ENCLOSED |
| | STAIRS. MAINTENANCE AND OVERSIGHT WILL BE NECESSARY TO |
| | ENSURE RELIABILITY OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE. |
| | |
| | 7. IT IS BELIEVED THAT NO BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICES |
| | EXIST FOR THE FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS. |
