Observations:

Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to maintain the rating of the floor/ceiling separation, in one of two smoke zones within the component.

Findings include:

1. Observation on January 9, 2023, at 1:50 PM, revealed a penetration of the ceiling deck, above the door to the Mechanical Room, in the Common Hall.

Interview at the time of the exit conference with the Administrator on January 9, 2023, at 2:30 PM, confirmed there was a penetration.




Plan of Correction:

Building owners were notified on 1/9/23 of survey findings. All unsealed smoke barrier and/or ceiling deck penetrations noted will be addressed and fixed by 1/20/2023. Penetrations will be filled with a UL approved through stop penetration system by building maintenance personal. The rating of the ceiling assembly will be maintained after completion of any work. Any future work that needs to be completed and has compromised the smoke barriers will be addressed and fixed immediately. The MSDS/date sheet and product information for the UL approved stop penetration system used to seal the areas will be maintained by building owners and administrator. Inspections will be completed after any maintenance/contractor work is completed in any of the fire wall areas by building maintenance personal and any issues found will be fixed immediately and administrator will be notified.
