I have new building Not high rise consists of four floors and parking garage.
The first floor is residential and assembly mixed while second to fourth floors are all residential units.
All Four floors are above the parking garage and they are construction III and the parking garage is construction II.
So their is 3 hours rating firewall between roof of parking and above floor that is construction III. Their is also firewall between parking floor roof to the foundation.
Our building department says parking and the four floors are separate buildings per IBC 2018 code
Would the IBC 2018 based on definition of structure consider parking garage and above floors as structure (singular) or structures (plural)?
