Who must be notified when a yellow tag is removed or revised?

• A. The system manufacturer
• B. The local AHJ must be notified
• C. The tenant association
• D. The building owner's attorney

Answer: (B)

Notifying the local AHJ is required because they are the authority that approves and records changes to a fire protection system’s status. A yellow tag signals a temporary condition or deficiency; when it’s removed or revised, the system’s status has changed and must be reviewed, and re-recorded, by the AHJ to ensure proper inspection and re-entry into service. The system manufacturer, tenant association, or building owner’s attorney do not have the official role to authorize or log these status changes.
