Matt: To make sure I understand this, tenant leaves their unit, or area the building isolates for fire, enters a common area that is another separation, then uses a key to enter another private area with their auto or storage? I would guess this door is a rated door, through another rated wall.
Do I have the picture right?

Each garage is assigned to one apartment and has a locking door on it, but as you exit the garage, you enter a hallway that serves all of the units on the first floor. The question: would these garages be considered "accessible by only one unit"? (able to be protected by 13R 6.8.3.3 as part of a dwelling unit) It seems like they are, since they cannot be entered by people from the other units. Any thoughts?
