Violations

2
Standard 8VAC20-800-320-G
Based on observation and interview, the provider failed to ensure that wood burning fireplaces and associated chimneys are inspected annually by a knowledgeable inspector to verify that the devices are properly installed, maintained and cleaned as needed. 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.
2. The fireplace is open, though it shows no signs of being used.
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.
Standard 8VAC20-800-430-B
Based on observation the provider did not ensure pressure mounted gates are not used as protective barriers at stair opening.
Evidence: A pressure mounted gate was observed at the bottom of the stairway opening leading to the second floor.
Plan of Correction: I will have someone to mount the gate to the wall.
