Group Homes are regulated by The Department of Mental Health. They cannot be discriminated against regarding where they are located within a residential zone.
All registered group homes are inspected annually by the Fire, Building and Health Depts.

why are some required to have pull fire boxes others are not??? so the town has NO say over where these can be located or size of residences? and any other safety concerns CANNOT be addressed by town guidelines???

and is the inspection list public?

In a residential zone we cannot refuse this type of occupancy. They are not allowed in other zoning districts. They are typically located in existing single family homes. We have a few that have gone into newly constructed single family homes. The ones that have pull boxes have been around for a while. The newer ones have monitored alarms by private companies. The inspection list is not on-line but we do have one in the building dept.
