1 Confirming building classification during occupancy Susan Clarke, P.Eng., MBA Office of the Fire Marshal 1
2 Caveat This presentation is for information purposes; not providing legal advice For legal advice, consult with your municipal solicitor 2
3 Objectives Identify issue relating to establishing occupancy type (or increase in hazard) after occupancy Identify why it is important to establish building classification after occupancy Identify who is responsible? Describe legislation available Describe compliance & enforcement options bridging the gap 3
4 Issues often identified by municipal fire inspectors Changes in Occupancy, after occupancy permit (without change of use permit) Increases in hazard, through introduction of activities not allowed for in original design In both cases, building features may not be sufficient to accommodate the changes 4
5 . Change of Use some examples 5
6 Barn used as Assembly Occupancy Could be a single occasion, or a change of use 6
7 House, used as a rooming house. This centrally located rooming house is available for single females only. Great bus service, free laundry facilities and proximity to shops are but a few of its features. Rooms are furnished and include kitchen facilities. Washroom facilities are shared. 7
8 House, with an accessory apartment. Key property details: Furnished lower level of executive home Ideal for non smoking single professional Walking distance to Y 8
9 House, used as a care occupancy. designed specifically to care for medically complex infants and very young children. Referrals to the program often come directly from hospital pediatric wards 9
10 House, used as a hotel Advertised Bed & Breakfast (10 suites). 10
11 Church basement Converted use: Private school Daycare Issues? Fire separation between tenants Fire alarm Fire safety plan 11
12 12
13 Strip mall unit (retail or industrial) Converted use: Private school Daycare Medical suite (e.g. sleep disorders) Issues? Fire separation between units Fire alarm Fire safety plan 13
14 . Increase in hazard some examples 14
15 New equipment in an industrial occupancy New roll-paper coating process equipment Uses Class I flammable liquids Existing sprinkler system is rated light hazard NFPA 13 requires process to be protected by extra hazard group 1 15
16 . 16
17 School classroom Designed/constructed as a regular teaching classroom Introduction of cooking appliance If appliance is a stove, this now meets definition of hazardous classroom OBC has requirements for protection of a hazardous classroom 17
18 Kindergarten Classroom Whitby Fire Department files 18
19 School corridor serving classrooms Used for library Used for computer lab Used for storage Issues? Combustibles Obstructions 19
20 20
21 Skating arena Used for fall fair Used for trade show Used for concert Issues? Increase occupant load exit capacity Suppression not designed for increased combustibles 21
22 .. 22
23 House, converted to a grow op. 23
24 Why is it important to establish occupancy type (or design) after occupancy? 24
25 Control of hazards If the building wasn t designed for the protection of multiple occupants (e.g. house to rooming house or accessory apartment) Insufficient fire separations Insufficient early warning Lack of fire safety plan etc. 25
26 Control of hazards If the building wasn t designed to protect vulnerable occupants (e.g. residential to care occupancy) Insufficient compartmentalization (corridors, sleeping rooms) Insufficient early warning Insufficient exiting Insufficient suppression protection Insufficient fire safety plan 26
27 Control of hazards If the building wasn t designed for the hazards incurred by the new occupancy (e.g. F3 to an F1) Protection features are insufficient (e.g. sprinkler system rating) 27
28 Control of hazards If the activity creates a hazard not allowed for in the original design Building features may be insufficient to control the hazard, and protect the occupants Building features may be insufficient to protect areas beyond point of origin 28
29 . Who is responsible? 29
30 Responsibility - owner to give designer and building department correct information about intended use of building to obtain change of use or building permit, in accordance with BCA to ensure activities are not introduced that increase the hazards beyond what the building systems are designed for (OFC) To obtain CFO approval of provisions to control the hazard ( ) 30
31 Change of Use. 31
32 Owner Notify Chief Building Official of change of use BCA 10. (1) Even though no construction is proposed, no person shall change the use of a building or part of a building or permit the use to be changed if the change would result in an increase in hazard, as determined in accordance with the building code, unless a permit has been issued by the chief building official. 2002, c. 9, s
33 Owner Need to assess for increase in hazard of changed occupancy: Article , Div C Table , Div C See footnote references See exemptions 33
34 Owner Required to assess building under Part 10, Div B for: Change in Major Occupancy (SS ) Classification according to Construction and Occupancy (SS ) Reduction in performance level (SS ) Compliance with specified Sections in OBC as apply to new major occupancy 34
35 Owner, cont d If increased hazard established, but assessment does not result in construction, change of use permit (S10) Where compensating construction is required, building permit application (S8) May look at permissions to use Compliance Alternatives (Part 11) 35
36 Reality Check Some owners don t properly describe to building department what the use is Some owners choose not to apply for change of use/building permit Some uses evolve over time with no construction proposed (e.g. C to B3; F3 to F2; strip mall unit E to A2) 36
37 Change of use - example Group home, originally exempt from B3 application by OBC Article ,Div B but where additional person(s) requiring assistance to evacuate are now cared for No construction proposed Use might have evolved over time, without realization that additional fire protection features are required 37
38 . Changes of use/increase in hazard, cause fire risk to occupants and to others Occupants are unaware that the building features may not be adequately designed to protect them If fire occurs, occupants are at greater risk 38
39 Discovery Building department Follow up to complaint, usually Letter to owner to get building permit Work towards compliance May lay charges 39
40 Discovery Fire Department inspection Not mandatory May be by program (e.g. vulnerable occupancies) May be by complaint (e.g. neighbour, unhappy tenant, notification from fire suppression crew) 40
41 Ontario Fire Code Article , Div B: Activities that create a hazard and that are not allowed for in the original design shall not be carried out in a building unless approved provisions are made to control the hazard 41
42 Actions: Determine original permitted occupancy or activity (municipal files) Determine date of change of use Ensure building is retrofitted appropriately (FPPA or OFC) Ensure building department is advised 42
43 Legislation Fire Protection and Prevention Act Fire Code Building Code Act Building Code 43
44 Ontario Fire Code Applies to existing, occupied buildings Division A: Owner is responsible for compliance with OFC Compliance with OFC does not relieve owner from compliance with other applicable legislation and regulations the more stringent requirements prevail 44
45 Ontario Fire Code Division B For the purpose of applying this Code, a building or part thereof shall be classified according to its major occupancy by the Chief Fire Official in conformance with the Building Code Why? Because original approved design (by building department) may not be how building is currently being used! 45
46 How to address change of use?. 46
47 Ontario Fire Code Article , Div. B Activities that create a hazard and that are not allowed for in the original design shall not be carried out in a building unless approved provisions are made to control the hazard Can be basis for laying charges, and/or for Inspection Order Can also be basis for notifying building department 47
48 Article , Div. B Activities that create a hazard Change of occupancy As defined in OBC (Article , Div C) Activities in areas, not anticipated by Code (i.e. corridor used as library) Increased hazard, fire protection equipment not designed for (i.e. sprinkler system insufficient) 48
49 Issue Inspection Order S21, Fire Protection and Prevention Act Reason: Activities that create a hazard and that are not allowed for in the original design Work Ordered: Reinstate original activity the design was intended to address (either building or area), or Increase protection accordingly describe (can use OFC or OBC requirements) 49
50 Increase protection Inspection Order 21.(1): (g) remedy contravention of OFC (i.e. where OFC is applicable) (f) to do anything respecting fire safety including containment, means of egress, fire alarms and detection, suppression, fire safety plan where OFC not applicable 50
51 Ontario Fire Code Part 9 Retrofit Application: Assembly Occupancies Boarding, Lodging and Rooming Houses Health Care Facilities (licensed) Residential (multi-unit, up to/incl. 6 storeys) Residential (multi-unit, higher than 6 storeys) Two-Unit Residential** Hotels 51
52 Retrofit Upgrade building features to provide a minimum level of life safety Containment Means of egress Fire alarm and detection Suppression Level may not be as high as that in current/other edition/s of building code 52
53 Section Title Effective Date Ontario Fire Code Nov. 21, 1981 Referenced OBC Definition existing 9.1 General May 14, 1983 O.Reg. 251/83; Amended 9.2 Assembly 1986 OBC compliance date Feb. 11, Boarding, Lodging July 14, 1984 and Rooming O.Reg. 425/84 Houses 9.4 Health Care Facilities 9.5 Buildings up to and including 6 storeys in bh, Residential 9.6 Buildings higher than 6 storeys in bh, Residential 9.7 Reserved 9.8 Two Unit Residential February 28, 1987 October 24, 1992 July 14, OBC October 9, OBC July 14, Hotels Jan 1, OBC July 23, 1994 Feb. 11, 1987 October 9, 1992 July 14, 1994 January 1,
54 Retrofit - Application Section 9.8 Two unit Residential Applies only to those buildings where two units existed on July 14, 1994 For those that changed use after this date, Section 9.8 does not apply Implication: Inspection Order (21.(1)(f)) Refer to building department 54
55 Retrofit - Application Sections (except 9.8) Applies to all existing buildings Construction requirements will be to referenced building code Implication: Inspection Order (21.(1)(g)) Refer to building department 55
56 Code Application review Important to check date of construction, and change of use Compare to Building Code: Change of use Introduction of relevant requirements Care, Hotels, etc. Compare to Fire Code Retrofit application dates 56
57 Confirm dates Owner s statement Complaint Advertisements Municipal records Income tax statements e.g. income from rental Receipts from construction 57
58 Compliance Options Only Retrofit Section 9.8 refers to existing in the Application statement and defines this as July 14, 1994 If a dwelling unit converted to a 2-unit residential after this date, then Section 9.8 does not apply Only options are Inspection Order, and/or refer to municipal building department 58
59 Two-unit residential (S 9.8) Municipal building department, may not want to legalize two-unit where zoning does not permit Because zoning takes time to get owner to comply Fire department should issue Inspection Order for the interim period Include warning that compliance with IO does not mean owner is relieved from compliance with other law 59
60 Compliance Options For other occupancy types, if dates can be established that indicate change of use occurred after referenced building code edition or where Retrofit does not apply to a specific occupancy Discuss with municipal building department Who will take ownership If fire department, may ask building department for assistance to identify additional requirements from building code 60
61 Inspection Orders FPPA SS 22.(1) No orders for repairs or alterations under clause 21.(1)(b) that was constructed in compliance with the building code. that continues to comply with that code as it existed at the time of construction unless the order is necessary to ensure compliance with Retrofit of existing buildings 61
62 Example group home previously a dwelling unit, now a care occupancy Issue Inspection Order for care occupancy (and fire safety plan) requirements in OFC Section 9.5 Option may be given to re-instate original single family use This does not preclude requirements from other municipal authorities (e.g. building department, zoning bylaws) 62
63 Inspection Orders FPPA SS 22.(2) If repairs, alterations or installations are carried out in compliance with order under SS 21.(1), or for the purposes of complying with the fire code shall be deemed not to contravene the building code Copy of Inspection Order to building department required (SS 22.(3)) 63
64 Comment Issuing an Inspection Order is a common means used to date for achieving compliance Sometimes difficult to establish dates Building department may not wish to pursue compliance with OBC) However, using Retrofit or Inspection Order may not make a building fully compliant with the law (e.g. edition of OBC) 64
65 Use of the Building Code If Change of Use occurs after: July 1, 1993, or April 6, 1997 for B3 occupancies Then fire department should be notifying CBO Note: cannot use OBC where change of use predates those above; can use OFC Retrofit however 65
66 Reminder OFC Article , Div A Compliance with this Code does not relieve the owner from compliance with other applicable legislation and regulations,. More stringent requirements prevail 66
67 Building Code Act Change of Use provisions date introduced (1993/1997) (S10) Limitation period (BCA SS 36.(8), (8.1)) for charges No limitation period for Orders Note: consistent with Supreme Court of Canada decision, May
68 Building Department Actions Inspect property Order owner to comply with building code requirements for use Owner applies for permit S10 if only change of use S8 if construction required 68
