§ 20.35. Fire safety approval.
(a) A facility shall have written fire safety approval from either the Department of Labor and Industry or the Department of Health of the Commonwealth—or the local Department of Public Safety in the cities of Scranton and Pittsburgh or the local Department of Licensing and Inspection in Philadelphia—if applicable.
(b) A facility shall have written fire safety approval, if applicable, prior to issuance of a certificate of compliance. If fire safety authorities do not carry out their mandated functions in a timely fashion, the Department, prior to fire safety approval, may issue a certificate of compliance if the health and safety of the clients are not in jeopardy.
(c) Authorized agents of the Department will request additional fire safety inspections by the appropriate agency if, during an inspection, an authorized agent observes possible fire safety violations.
