Standard #: 8VAC20-780-270-A Complaint related: No Description: Based on observation of the physical plant and staff interviews, it was determined that equipment in the center was not maintained in a safe and operable condition.
Evidence: The center's fire alarm panel, which is utilized to alert occupants in the building, as well as emergency services of a fire, is not functioning properly. Smoke detectors were heard beeping repeatedly throughout the time of inspection (approximately 10:05am through approximately 1:45pm). Management reported the smoke detectors are beeping because they aren't getting enough power. In addition, the fire alarm panel which powers the smoke detectors doesn't have enough wattage which requires it to be manually reset numerous times each day. Management stated if the fire alarm panel is not manually reset when it beeps then the system goes offline. Management advised this issue has been going on for approximately one year.Plan of Correction: Not available online. Contact Inspector for more information.
