That visit and our review of City records has revealed that the last two permits (BUP 92 -0355 and MST 93 -0601) and Certificates of Occupancy were issued in error, and that several code violations exist in your facility. Sections 303(e) and 308(f) gives the Building Official authority to suspend or revoke permits and Certificates of Occupancy when issued in error or when it is determined that the building is in violation of any of the provisions of the code. I do not wish to suspend or revoke your Certificates of Occupancy. Based upon my review, there are reasonable steps you may employ to achieve compliance at your facility. Tigard will correct its files accordingly. To make your facility compliant as an SR2 occupancy for 15 residents, the following must be done: 1. The evacuation capability for the facility must be determined using the attached Appendix F from the National Fire Protection Association's "Life Safety Code Handbook," attached. You must achieve a slow rating. 2. The group of 5 bedrooms in the rear must have no more than 5 residents. 3. The group of 3 bedrooms adjacent to the middle living area must have no more than 5 residents and a 3' -0" wide swinging exit door must be installed at the existing sliding door. 4. The group of 4 bedrooms at the front must have no more than 5 residents. 5. The two storage rooms at the basement and the furnace room adjacent to the kitchen must be enclosed within a one -hour occupancy separation, or these rooms shall be provided with sprinklers and self - closing smoke tight doors. 6. The kitchen shall be provided with sprinkler protection above the cooking appliances. 7. The chain lock at the front door must be removed so that the door is operable from the inside without any special knowledge or effort. 8. The locks on the exterior gate across the driveway must be removed since this is in the exit path. 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639 -4171 TDD (503) 684 -2772 Mr. and Mrs. Lornic March 21, 1995 Page 2 To make your facility compliant as an SR3 occupany for 15 residents, the following must be done: 1.
