51 #3 - Latch Failure findings (13.7%) Engineering Department

52 #4 Smoke barriers findings (8.4%) Engineering Department

53 #5 - Suite Issues findings (8.3%) Suites are used to create groupings of rooms and spaces that can function more efficiently than individual rooms located off of a corridor. The specific limitations on suite size and design in the 2000 LSC limit their efficiency and the ability for facilities to accommodate suites in their building space, which results in undue burden. Sections 18/ of the 2000 LSC requires every habitable room to have an exit access door leading directly to an exit access corridor; Allows for exit access from a suite to include intervening rooms only under certain circumstances; Requires suites of certain size to have two exit access doors remotely located from one another; And limits the size of sleeping room suites to 5,000 ft2. In the 2006 LSC, NFPA began to include additional provisions to further accommodate the use of suites, and continue to be reflected in sections 8/ of the 2012 LSC. See CMS Waiver Engineering Department

54 2012 LSC 18/ Suites 18/ (B) which allow, under certain circumstances, one of the exit access doors in a sleeping suite be permitted to be directly to an exit stair, exit passageway or exit to the exterior; 18/ (B) which allow, under certain circumstances, one of the exit access doors in a non-sleeping suite be permitted to be directly to an exit stair, exit passageway or exit to the exterior; 18/ which allow, under certain circumstances, suites to be separated by corridor wall requirements; Engineering Department

55 #6 Separation of Hazardous Areas findings (7.6%) Engineering Department
