Barnes testified that Interstate previously had performed work on this ventilation system. In 2005, Hsiao-Wen Chen, acting on behalf of Tea House, retained Interstate to make repairs to the ventilation hood to bring it into compliance with certain building codes. As installed, the ventilation hood and parts of the ductwork were too close to the wooden frame construction of the building, which, in the terms of the relevant building codes, were considered “concealed combustibles.” Interstate made repairs to the hood and the ductwork to bring the ventilation system into compliance. These repairs required Interstate to detach the hood from the ductwork and then to remove the Sheetrock ceiling to expose the combustibles. Interstate wrapped the duct-work in fire resistant material to protect the combustibles and reattached the hood to the ductwork, bringing the system into compliance with the building codes.
