We have an R-2, 2 story apartment building. Manual fire alarm pull station in the corridor. Automatic smoke detection in the units. The building was built in the 70's.
The units are studio style so the the rooms are somewhat combined (bedroom, living area, kitchen) plus the restroom.
The section quoted above states for single or multiple station smoke alarms, that (per #1) these alarms are required outside of the sleeping area.
In the case of these particular units, "outside the sleeping area" would be in the corridor outside the unit, since they are a studio. Are we looking at this correctly?
Thanks in advance.
