'2491 Page 4 The code states that buildings which are 'not provided with adequate egress are,' 'for the purpose of this section, unsafe' (Sec. 203 UBC 1995). Such unsafe conditions are to be abated by repair or rehabilitation. Failure to provide such repair or rehabilitation could result in an order to vacate the offending areas. Therefore: Under permit of the City of Everett Building Department, provide an approved means of egress from the second, third, and fourth floors. 16. Provide approved illuminated exit sign(s) to indicate location of rear exit. a. main floor 19. Provide approved placard(s), having six (6) inch lettering on a contrasting background, indicating the fire exit(s). a. basement 20. Remove all flammable/combustible storage. a. main storage area on the fourth floor --the sprinkler protection in this room is badly compromised by the many existing ducts. We recommend this storage be moved to the larger storage area. The area's sprinkler protection is much better there (see item #21.). 21. Remove and properly dispose of the accumulation of combustible debris. a. large storage area on fourth floor --clean up and organization of this area along with item t20 would be a marked improvement 22. Strictly enforce the 'NO SMOKING' restriction. a. throughout fourth floor storage area 23. An automatic closing fire door exists in the opening between the main building and the annex. Operation of this fire door has been compromised in two ways: a. An electrical cable has been installed in the downward path of this fire door. This may or may not result in improper operation of the door. b. The detection device has been covered by a ceiling tile. This will very seriously hamper the timely operation of the fire door. Therefore, restore the proper operational conditions for the fire door.
