Maine survey readiness
What Maine DHHS — Division of Licensing and Certification can ask you for, each line cited — and the ones you can't yet produce.
What Maine requires
- Your fire and evacuation drill records for the period. Drills at the required frequency: Drills or rehearsals of the emergency steps at IRREGULAR TIMES OF DAY, at least six a year and SPACED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, with two of the six conducted while residents are asleep. 10-144 C.M.R. ch. 113 (assisted housing programs); safety standards at §144-113-I-13; fire safety inspection under 22 M.R.S. §7855
The evidence, and where it comes from
Every item above needs something you can hand over. The Maine fire drill log produces the drill record at the frequency this state sets, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.
Everything else we’ve researched about Maine
Same state, the problems either side of this one. Each carries its own statute and the date we last checked it.
A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — Maine DHHS — Division of Licensing and Certification and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
