Outside in the backyard, LPA observed ping pong/activity table propped up by a ladder and 2 metal chairs which poses a potential hazard. LPA observed obstructed fire exit path on backyard cement area leading to wooden deck. Path obstructed by:
- stacks of plastic chairs, stacked up at approximately 3.5 feet tall,
- one large table umbrella,
- large cactus planter approximately 36 inches in diameter,
- one outdoor patio table approximately 44 inches in diameter,
- piece of wrap-around bench approximately 6 feet long.
Bench was part of wrap-around bench seating on the deck in the backyard. Bench has white and black spots on underneath side of legs and is exhibiting signs of deterioration. Bench is laid horizontally on its side, cutting off access to fire exit path on side of facility and access to deck. Square umbrella table stand placed behind bench and cactus planter adding to blocked fire exit path.
