3. How does the campus encourage the inspection of off-campus student housing, including fraternities and sororities, by local code enforcement officials? (For the purposes of this question, we understand that all campuses follow the SUNY Policy of not participating in the inspection of off-campus housing. However, we seek to understand if campuses establish policies or practices regarding off-campus apartment listings in campus life offices, or provide web-based information that is accessible to students. For example, does the campus require that off-campus housing be inspected annually by the local codes officer and pass that inspection in order to be included on the off-campus housing listing?)

______________________________________________________________

Has the campus established policies regarding flammability requirements for upholstered and reupholstered furniture? (Upholstered furniture: California Flammability Regulations Technical Bulletin 133; or, California Flammability Regulations Technical Bulletin 117 for all reupholstered furniture).

All existing residence hall facilities must have fully integrated fire and smoke detection and alarm systems in place by June 30, 2010 (see definitions Attachment 3). Please attach a list of all residential facilities (with the number of beds in each) and indicate whether fire and smoke detector and alarm systems providing detection of all sites within the building exists.

Please note if the fire and smoke detection and alarm systems provide only partial coverage.

For residence halls that that do not have fully integrated fire and smoke detection and alarm systems, or systems that do not provide full coverage fire, please indicate the year the campus plans to implement a fully compliant system.

7. When a residence hall integrated fire and smoke detection system is activated, what parties receive notice of the alarm (examples: the building, campus security, local fire station, and or 911 central dispatch, etc)? Include all of the locations where the alarm is immediately sounded.

______________________________________________________________

If the alarm does not sound directly at 911, please describe how the campus notifies other affected organizations (local fire department, campus security, etc.).

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

If the alarm does not sound directly at 911, only upon arrival of the first responder can the nature of the alarm be determined (actual fire, accidental or false alarm, etc.). In the event of an accidental or false alarm, does the campus call back the other affected organizations to provide further information, so they may modify their response? Please describe the practice.
