[Mike F.]

So is this a complete remodel of the building or just one existing unit???

And if comolete remodel what was the building before???

I'm just the carpenter on-site, not the general contractor in charge, but like to be informed before

We are working on the lowest level condo only, which is 95% demolished. All units will remain residential. Does the code require sprinkler system for the unit were working on?

Why are you asking these questions, is this a design/build project? Is it permitted? Ask your Bldg. dept about sprinklers.

From this picture, yes the code requires hangers.

I would say no sprinkler

You have to be a supporting member to post pictures direct

Or make them a link and post the link

I would also like to see what type of fire separation or fire resistance level we would need to apply considering that it is a separate condominium above. The building itself contains a total of three condominiums, does this become commercial or residential code?

The Fire seperation should be existing unless it is being disturbed

The center beam is morticed into the beam running above the LVL..held in place with wooden peg. It probably could use some re-enforcing

Be glad you are not in EQ country.

Hi Mike, in my humble opinion, if the IRC rules indicate that certain actions need to be performed, then they need to be performed without any questions. Another thing is what materials are needed for joist hangers to fix them on the beams
