b)         The licensee shall maintain the facility in a safe structural condition.  If the Department determines that an evaluation of the structural condition of a facility building is necessary, the licensee shall submit a report by a licensed structural engineer that shall establish a basis for eliminating or correcting the structural conditions that are found to be hazardous.
