Hi, As crazy as it may sound my tenant is convinced that her neighbor is "jumping" the firewall through the section of sheetrock installed on top of the cinderblock. The fire wall that separates two units is built with cinderblock but only up to a point then the wall finished with sheetrock. Both firewalls (my townhouse is sandwiched between two other units) are done the same way.
What is the purpose of the sheetrock?
Why not finish the wall with cinderblock all the way to the roof?
My tenant is driving ME crazy and wants me to built the wall all the way to the top.
I just know noticed this..I will have to talk to other unit owners to see if their firewalls are done the same way. I hope is some code thing so I can shut her up.
This is a townhouse in North Carolina, built in 1985.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
