Massage Parlour Dungeon Egress

[LGreene]

For some reason, this made me think of you guys. I'll bet Inspectional Services had some stories to tell.

This one has a better description of the egress issues: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/07/09/massage-parlour-boss-fined-for-fire-safety-breaches-in-her-dungeon-115875-23258121/

But this one has photos of the facility and proprietor: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2012611/Massage-parlours-dungeon-den-breached-regulations-endangered-manacled-clients.html

So is an S&M dungeon occupancy I?

And if so, which group?

I-4.

Final answer.

 

[cda]

needs to be four or more for "I"

appears only needs one exit

Glad we never have to deal with houses of illrepute

 

[brudgers]

needs to be four or more for "I"

I think the calculation is based on at least one occupant per set of manacles.

GROUP 1-3 Detention Facility

manacles and chains......

ALORA are you nuts......Group 1-4, day care facilities. It may be open nights

I think you were right the first time, a mixed occupancy S/M.

You are bad, step away from the code books

I would think it is a B use group as long as 5 or less persons under restraint--ref 2009 IBC 308.4

Still need to clean up the exits and fix locks so can open in direction of egress.

Occupancy A.

Special Amusement.
