That was with the thought of being a S-1 and the fire separation from the property line it SHOULD have been 2hr exterior walls.
You're correct. The one wall that has a fire separation distance of less than 5 ft. should be at least a 2-hour wall per Table 602.That was with the thought of being a S-1 and the fire separation from the property line it SHOULD have been 2hr exterior walls.
The exterior walls are 12" masonry, so I'm pretty sure they're at least 2-hour rated, but I don't see any reason why the building would be IIIB since the original construction and the renovation were both done with non-combustible materials. The combustible wood loft was added sometime more recently, possibly without a permit.IMO, it sounds like it is a IIIB, non-combustible exterior walls, and any materials on interior, IBC 2015 602.3. The building probably wasn't typed correctly when built or remodeled.
The loft does appear to meet the requirements of a mezzanine, but the problem still remains that it is built of combustible material, so is not compliant with Construction Type IIB.fj80, You might also want to read mezzanines section 505 and 505.3 to verify what you have in place meets code. Just saying.
Zoning is Industrial.What is the property zoning?
Well now I'm just hungry.Anything is allowed inside IIIB....Think laminated chicken fat, cheddar cheese, balsa wood, or your non FRTW, etc...
Well, this question is one of those that you can ask a jeweler what my ring is made of. If you are not a master you will never understand what type of construction is used in a building because you are not a builder. I was very interested in architecture and always wanted to work as a Construction Manager, but I went to study to be a doctor. So I did not become a doctor, but I decided to find courses that can teach me the subtleties of their field of construction. I chose Construction Manager Programs, where I found some good information for me to start my career. Maybe I can help you with future questions when I become a professional))
So, no construction being performed, built in 1981, so shouldn't the code it was built under be considered for the construction type?
