Notes: Phone and table for 4 in dayroom. The prior LASE indicated there were 2 beds in this housing area; however, 4 beds
(two double bunks) were observed in this location during this inspection. As measurements were not previously listed, the
dayroom and housing area were measured this cycle, and found to have a combined total of 296.5 square feet (with a
10’ceiling). The RC was recalculated, using later, less restrictive 1973 standards, and determined to support 4 (dayroom
space was considered in the calculations) versus two. Therefore, the RC was changed from 2 to 4 this cycle.
