We recommend that the PBS NCR Regional Commissioner take immediate actions to address the fire safety deficiencies at the GSA HQ building by: promptly ensuring that all fire doors are inspected, repaired, or replaced for proper functionality and compliance with safety standards and fire codes; strengthening oversight to ensure that the building’s operations and maintenance contractor is complying with contract requirements, including, but not limited to, fire safety requirements; expediting the corrective action for the fire safety deficiency identified during the Management Analysis and Review System review, dated January 6, 2023, by coordinating pre-fire planning activities with the local fire department; and, ensuring that pre-fire planning walk-throughs are regularly scheduled and performed with the local fire department.
