Wouldn't a Mezzanine also be required to meet the criteria of section 505? I'd be a little dubious based on that section if it was truly a mezzanine for building code purposes.

A mezzanine is not a floor, so should not count toward d 4 story or 30'-0" threshold for requiring standpipes.

Example: 4th floor is 29'-4" above lowest level of fire department access. So standpipe would not be required. But these units have a loft/mezzanine that will be obviously above the 30'. The only way to access the loft is from a stair in the unit on the fourth floor. So standpipes yes or no? It is an R-2 occupancy.
