How does SeniorCRE run Life Safety Code (K-tag) rounds so the LSC survey opens with evidence, not excuses?
The Life Safety Code surveyor opens with three things: corridor clutter, fire and smoke door integrity, and penetrations through fire-rated walls. K-tags around these basics carry the highest citation frequency in LSC surveys. On a fragmented stack the rounds are an annual walk by the maintenance director and the citations arrive as a surprise.
Detail
Weekly and monthly K-tag rounds run as mobile checklists with photo capture per location: corridor obstructions, smoke door latching, fire door clearances, sprinkler escutcheons, sealed penetrations, exit signage, emergency lighting. Out-of-tolerance findings open work orders automatically with the corresponding K-tag attached. The LSC binder assembles itself from the round history.
LSC survey deficiencies on basic K-tags trend toward zero because the round caught them before the surveyor did. The annual LSC binder is a query, not a project.
