5
Does Not Meet Current Codes/Standards – “Grandfathered”
Priority 1: Currently Critical (Immediate):
Conditions in this category require immediate action to:
correct a cited safety hazard
stop accelerated deterioration
return a facility to operation
Priority 2: Potentially Critical (Year One):
Conditions in this category, if not corrected expeditiously, will become critical within a year. Situations within this category include:
intermittent operations
rapid deterioration
potential life safety hazards
Priority 3: Necessary – Not Yet Critical (Years 2 –5):
Conditions in this category require appropriate attention to preclude predictable deterioration or potential downtime and the associated damage or higher costs if deferred further.
Priority 4: Recommended (Year 6-10):
Conditions in this category include items that represent a sensible improvement to existing conditions. These are not required for the most basic function of the facility; however, Priority 4 projects will improve overall usability and/or reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Priority 5: Does Not Meet Current Codes/Standards – “Grandfathered”:
Conditions in this category include items that do not conform to existing codes but are “grandfathered” in their condition. No action is required at this time, but should substantial work be undertaken in contiguous areas, certain existing conditions may require correction.
