Nev. Admin. Code § 424.135

Current through November 8, 2024
Section 424.135 - Inspections: Safety from fire
1. Fire safety inspections must be conducted by a licensing authority representative or the local fire inspector based on the home's total occupancy, including the number of foster children for whom the home is to be licensed. If the home will accept or is currently occupied by a person who is nonambulatory or a person with a severe disability, each such person must be counted twice when determining total occupancy.
2. If the total occupancy is:
(a) Less than 10, the licensing authority representative shall, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, inspect the home to ensure the requirements of subsection 3 are met. The licensing authority representative is not required to inspect a home pursuant to this paragraph if the state or local fire inspector has inspected the home in conjunction with a current application.
(b) Ten or more, the State Fire Marshal or his designee shall inspect the home. The State Fire Marshal may, based upon information he receives regarding the home, designate the licensing authority representative to conduct the inspection.
3. Requirements for safety from fire must be met as established by the State Fire Marshal considering the number of occupants and their ability to exit in case of a fire.
