The sprinkler contractor noticed two code deficiencies during their inspection. The first deficiency was the system is not monitored by any alarm company and the other deficiency was in the basement corridor that leads to the mechanical room where two sprinkler heads are missing from the sprinkler pipe system. While I was looking at these two items per the sprinkler contractor I also found a couple of code violations that need to be corrected. The following is a complete list of items that need to be corrected to be in compliance with the fire code as established by the City of Orono. • Shall install fire extinguisher by mechanical door in basement area serviced by a licensed contractor once a year (UFC Vol. 1 Article 10 Section 1002 & UFC Vol. 2 Standard 10-1). • Sprinkler system shall be monitored along with any valves and alarms that are part of the sprinkler system (UFC Vol. 1 ArtiGe 10 Section 1003.3.1). • Shall lock down in open position all valves controlling water supply to the sprinkler system (UFC Vol. 1 Article 10 Section 1003.3.3). • Sprinkler heads in basement area shall be restored back to its original use. This will also require a building permit from the City of Orono— 952-249-4600 (UFC Vol. 1 Article 10 Section 1001.5.1). • A 36" clearance to the sprinkler riser area shall be adhered to at all times. The above items shall be corrected by March 28, 2003 after which time a follow-up inspection shall be conducted to check for compliance.
