According to NFPA you can do a 13-R for the first four floors and a 13 system 
on the 5th floor and attic.  I think you need to look at the IBC/IRC to see if 
there are building code requirements in the crawl space (assuming a normal 
crawl space).

Subject: Apartment Crawl Space

Looking at a (5) story apartment building so I assume it would need to be per 
NFPA-13 correct? With that being said is there anything in the Standard that 
addresses the crawl space underneath? Concealed Space?
