32 | During annual required visit in 6/8/2021 and case management on 7/12/2021, Department requested documentation for new facility fire clearance due to addition in the back of the house and garage conversion that wasn’t present in prior facility fire clearance. Facility submitted update sketch with staff rooms and bathroom that has been added to garage conversion. Fire Marshall on 11/2/2021 submitted inspection clearance for a “three room, 6 patient facility” and did “not reviewed – garage conversion”. Department is requiring copy of permits that were needed for garage conversion which are being used at this time as staff rooms to ensure that facility has an appropriated fire clearance. Fire clearance on file at this time doesn’t clear staff rooms and bathroom which were part of the garage conversion.
