The permissible use of NFPA 13R to protect multifamily occupancies is governed by model building codes. Architects, engineers, contractors and code enforcers often question how these codes limit the permissible use of NFPA 13R, particularly with respect to popular architectural designs that involve pedestal/podium style buildings and buildings that contain multiple occupancies, accessory occupancies or incidental uses. This program will demystify application of the building codes and NFPA 13R to apartments, condominiums and other multi-family occupancies.
