During the re-inspection several serious Tucson Fire Code Violation(s) were noted:

Non-required fire protection systems and equipment shall be inspected, tested and maintained or removed.

2). The kitchen hood system pull station was blocked by a refrigeration device at the time of re-inspection. This is a violation of IFC:

A manual actuation device shall be located at or near a means of egress from the cooking area a minimum of 10 feet (3048 mm) and a maximum of 20 feet (6096 mm) from the kitchen exhaust system. The manual actuation device shall be installed not more than 48 inches (1200 mm) nor less than 42 inches (1067 mm) above the floor and shall clearly identify the hazard protected. The manual actuation shall require a maximum force
of 40 pounds (178 N) and a maximum movement of 14 inches (356 mm) to actuate the fire suppression system.

3). According to Independent Fire & Safety Inspection Report, the kitchen hood system has several deficiencies (see attached photocopy). This is a violation of the following IFC codes:


901.6 Inspection, testing and maintenance. Fire detection, alarm and extinguishing systems shall be maintained in an operative condition at all times, and shall be replaced or repaired where defective.

904.11.6.4 Extinguishing system service. Automatic fire-extinguishing systems shall be serviced at least every 6 months and after activation of the system. Inspection shall be by qualified individuals, and a certificate of inspection shall be forwarded to the fire code official upon completion.
