Re: 196 Pleasant St. Yes Computers
Secondary to a review of the plans and narrative submitted to me for review, I concur with the issuance of a building permit subject to the following conditions:
Fire alarm and fire suppression work permits shall be obtained for the project. The C/O inspection fee needs to be paid prior to approval of any fire alarm and/or sprinkler plan approval.
A Fire Department Emergency Access Key Box is required on the exterior of the structure near the entrance to control equipment; a red 120-candela strobe light that actuates upon an alarm
condition is required above the Emergency Access Key Box.
The FD connection for sprinkler system is to be 4” Storz connection with an attached chain, in addition a sign reading “Fire Department Connection” in 3” white letters on a red background
is to be mounted above the connection. Also an electric bell, which activates upon water flow, must be located above this sign.
The Fire Alarm/Sprinkler system must be supervised by either a direct connection to the Northampton Public Safety Dispatch or by a UL listed Central station. The current municipal fire
alarm monitoring system utilizes wireless radio box technology. Contact Fire Department for more information if interested.
Pull Stations shall be double action type.
Location of sprinkler riser shall be marked with signage clearly identifying area/room as “Sprinkler Control Equipment”. Signage shall be red with white letters at least 2 inches in
height.
Fire extinguishers shall have the appropriate signage in compliance with ADA requirements indicating their location.
