Dear Ms. Reid:
The referenced project located at 2071 Heritage Way, Cameron, NC 28326 was inspected on February 28, 2017,
by Larry Beals and David LyJordan for compliance with Rules for Mental Health, Development Disability, and
Substance Abuse Facilities and Services (10A NCAC Chapter 27, Subchapter G), under a .5600A program, and
reviewed per North Carolina State Residential Building Code for up to 3 all ambulatory and able to evacuate
residents. This project cannot be approved until the following deficiencies have been corrected:
1. UL-listed smoke detectors must be interconnected in such a manner that the actuation of one alarm will
activate all of the alarms in the home. [NCSRC Section R314] The smoke detectors in the bedrooms
are not connected to any other detectors.
2. The wall mounted smoke detectors outside Bedroom 3 and the Master Bedroom must be mounted in
accordance with NFPA 72 Section 29.8.3.2. The top of the detector must be no closer than 4” from the
top of the wall and no more than 36” from the sloped ceiling, measured horizontally.
3. An exterior light must be provided at the front stair.
4. Each resident bedroom must be provided with one or more operable windows to the outside for
emergency egress. [NCSRC Section R310.1] The window in Bedroom 4 was not operable and must be
repaired.
5. The flexible metallic duct from the dryer must transition to a hard metallic duct in the crawl space. [NC
State Mechanical Code, Section 504.6] The flexible metallic duct in the crawl must be replaced with a
hard metallic duct.

6. Ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) protection must be provided for electrical receptacles located in
outdoor spaces. [NC State Electrical Code, Section 210.8(A)] All exterior electrical receptacles did not
function and must be repaired.
7. The discharge piping serving the pressure relief valve on the hot water heater was not installed. The
relief valve must be piped to the floor, into an indirect waste receptor or outdoors. [2012 NCSPC 504.6]
The discharge must be reconnected to the water heater and you must show that the pipe in the crawl
space continues to the outdoors.
8. The evacuation plan must be posted in a central location and oriented correctly based on its location.
[10A NCAC 27G .0207(b)] You must relocate the plan and turn it to the proper orientation.
When the deficiencies listed above have been corrected, we must receive a letter addressing each and
confirming that the work is complete. Once the letter is received, we will schedule a re-inspection.
