Documentation of the inspection and cleaning shall be maintained by the provider.
Evidence:
1. The provider did not have documentation of an annual inspection of the fireplace and chimney inspection.

Plan of Correction: I had the top closed off years ago, but I don't know if I have paperwork. I will contact someone to get the fireplace inspected and permanently closed. I will never use it.
