New Apartment Buildings: NFPA 101.30.1.1.1 - The requirements of this chapter shall apply to new builidings or portions thereof used as apartment occupancies (see 1.3.1).
Existing Apartment Buildings: NFPA 101.31.1.1.1 - The requirements of this chapter shall aply to existing building or portions thereof currently occupied as apartment occupancies.
