What is the nature of the building construction? I have seen buildings over 4 stories use 13R because the lower stories were separated with a horizontal barrier that allowed the upper 4 stories of residential occupancy to be classified as its own building.

Looking at a 6 story hotel and (1) person wants to use NFPA-13R & (1) says you can't because it's over 4 stories and you must use NFPA-13. Comments welcome .... :) Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
