DQA Memo 17-005 / Construction Requirements for New ‘Class-C’ CBRF Structures

This memo replaces memo 11-027 with updated regulatory references and contacts. The position of the Department of Health Services remains unchanged and the purpose of this memorandum is to provide information regarding the physical plant requirements for new Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF) licensure, as these requirements relate to the application of the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code (WCBC).  Class-C CBRFs of nine or more beds, i.e., commercial size, seeking licensure in a new structure, must be approved as an IBC Group I-2 Condition 1.
