1. (1) The location’s address and name of the custodian are conspicuously displayed on the front of the building and signage making it quickly identified when law enforcement responds to emergencies or incidents.
2. (2) The location of the custodian is in an area with roads maintained by the city, county, or state, and infrastructure that allow for efficient travel of law enforcement.
3. (3) There are minimal physical obstructions in entryway and egress.
4. (4) The location has sufficient and well-marked emergency access points in accordance with local building code requirements.
5. (5) The location has conspicuously displayed signage at the emergency access point that displays a phone number to call in case of emergencies and the phone number is properly manned by natural persons and not an automated answering service that delays or requires the caller to leave a message.
6. (6) The location is equipped with an alarm system, as that term is defined in s. 489.505, F.S., that when triggered and verified, necessitates a response from a first responder agency, as that term is defined in s. 365.179, F.S.
