Construction Requirements for New 'Class-C' CBRF Structures

This memorandum replaces memorandum 17-005 with updated regulatory references. The position of the Department of Health Services remains consistent regarding the purpose of this memorandum to provide information regarding the minimum fire safety requirements for new Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF) licensure, as these requirements relate to the application of the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code (WCBC). CBRFs are licensed according to Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 83. Commercial structures are designed to the requirements in the WCBC.
