I don’t profess knowledge as to why that particular situation, but would venture by your description, and reflecting on experience in the past there was public access, and fire code anomaly involved with the patio. Probably was acceptable for private residential purpose, but not for profit nursing home situation.

The house has been used as a nursing home for many years; this was not - at this time - a switch from a private residential use to a business use. And there was already a wood patio there; they were just rebuilding it a little bit larger.
