The 30ft rule is for the floor of the top level for human occupancy - not the ceiling of the highest level per IFC in Ohio also grade is where the fire department has access.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karen Purvis Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 2:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Help with standpipe I have a 13R building that has a basement below street level, two floors with apartments and a penthouse that takes up entire third floor. Each floor is 10'10" finished floor to finished floor. I know that because of the 30' rule I have to have a standpipe. My problem is how. The building is an old building being renovated and there is one staircase in the lobby. These stairs serve two apartments each. The stairs leading up to the penthouse is totally enclosed with a door at the second floor. Does this still qualify for a standpipe and if so do I take it all the way through the penthouse to the roof. The building will be completely sprinklered. Also does the standpipe need to go to the basement as well? There are no apartments there but is being used for mechanical equipment and storage.
