This is the very conclusion that led to many of our previous answers. Still, I think Texasbo is correct. There are places that the IRC and IBC just do not interpolate.Yankee said:Think about other rated partition walls though. In other scenarios there will be a rated exit hallway with (rated) doors from adjacent units opening into the hallway. So although the residential code doesn't expressly prohibit or allow a doorway, this concept as a means of compliance with the intent of the code in this unusual situation is permitted by the building code with other residential uses.
One book for one and two-family dwellings. A different book for the balance.
Note that the IPC and IMC have exceptions explicitly spelled out when excepting one and two family dwellings.
