Question

Is it the intent of section 603.1 to allow alterations to a A-2 occupancy with out having to install a new fire sprinkler system?

Answer Published 06/16/2011 at 4:11 PM

Yes, if the scope of the work is limited to an Alteration
Level 1, 603.1 would just require that the existing
conditions be maintained.

Commentary

The use would still have to comply with the provisions of the Florida Fire Prevention Code NFPA 101 Existing Assembly occupancy provisions.
