still not sure about this. The IBC and NFPA does not use the word "detached". It is only used in the IRC. If both buildings are inspected under the IBC and not the IRC for the ressidential building 13D seems to be allowed.
Don't forget the "any building" part either.Rick18071 said:Any building that contains not more than one or two dwelling units intened to be used, rented, leased, let, or hired out to be occupied for habitation purposes.
Only if the Design Professional designates the wall as such. It's not the code official's call (even though the building might fail to meet area requirements).Rick18071 said:Permitguy, I did get this from my copy of the 2007 issue of NFPA 13D. I don't understand where you got a different definition. Can anyone help with this?Buudgers, a fire wall between B an R makes them separate buildings.
Your boss is right.Rick18071 said:I think it should be 13R. My boss says 13D. Have to go with 13D. Said he will not pay for a new copy of NFPA 13D for the new definition of Dwelling.
He wouldn't need to pay for a copy. It can be viewed on their website for free. In any case, reading comprehension isn't for everyone. At least you'll know how to apply it properly when you're in the position to do so. Thanks for the update on the outcome.I think it should be 13R. My boss says 13D. Have to go with 13D.
