On one side of each 1st floor units is a little 2'-8" deep balcony that sticks out between the 1st and 2nd floors creating a really small covered patio on the first floor. The builder doesn't want to install sprinklers under these on the 1st floor. 13R doesn't address decks or balconies that I can find. But IBC 2009 (current in effect in PA) 903.3.1.2.1 says I have to provide sprinkler protection for exterior balconies, decks and ground floor patios, and doesn't give a minimum size. Should I just tell the builder he has to have them? Or is there a way out of it that I'm not seeing (he claims he has never had to do it before). The current addition of NFPA 13 in effect in PA is 2007. Richard L. Mote CET Design Manager Rowe Sprinkler Systems, Inc.
