| FYI | (STANDARD COMMENT) IMPACT TO EXITING AND/OR FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Egress components and fire protection systems that may be negatively impacted by yoru scope of work will be required to comply with the currently adopted fire code. As an example, if your work increases the occupant load of a space, the existing egress components will be required to comply with the requirements of the new occupant load. |
| Attention | (STANDARD COMMENT) CONSTRUCTION SPLICES
You are strongly encouraged to have any splices that may occur during this project, reviewed by CSFD. Failure to do so, can result in coordination issues that could prevent a final inspection from being completed, thus delaying the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.

| Disapproved | *****(STANDARD COMMENT 19) DISAPPROVED COMMENTS
The following information and/or corrections are needed prior to completing a full plan review. Please respond, in writing on letterhead, to each of the following comments:
1. Questions regarding the occupancy and occupant load must be answered before we can complete a throrough review.
2. Code study and Plans set must coordinate with the information provided between them (ie match).
