RE: Exit Corridor
Dear Ms. Boyd
On March 19, 2008, ( a site visit for the Nursing Home project and noticed that an
exit corridor was closed off. In -further review of this issue I found that the exit door was moved
from the original plan submitted and approved by the City for the construction of the North
Wing in the Assisted Living Building. The corridor is identified as Corr E014, and is shown one
the basement plan sheet 2.2.01.
The corridor exit door is closed off by the placement of work pods in the Lakeview Homecare
Hospice center. At this time I must direct you to relocate the work pods to permit a path way
for exiting. In addition, a corridor must be constructed within 60 days of this letter. Please
have design plans for this corridor submitted with a building permit application for review and a
building permit consideration.
Exiting and passageways are very important life safety issues. I appreciate your prompt
attention to correcting this situation. Please contact me if you should have any questions
regarding this building code violation.
Sincerely
Jim
Building Official
