THere are provisions in the building codes whereby you don't have to
have a parapet. I haven't looked at the specifics for years but with
a 2 hr wall, can't say I'd lose a lot of sleep (as long as they
haven't punched holes through them to route cable etc).

Hello,
How many cities out there allow the 3 unit condo complex to have
13D system in each unit. Meaning, each unit has its own 1" meter,
riser, and two head calculation? The middle unit has two hour walls
from foundation up through the attic but without the parapet.
Redondo Beach has hundreds of these kind of lots. Since 1991 this
arrangement has been allowed. If other cities have these kind of
buildings but don't allow the 13D how are they protected, 13R? If
Redondo did 13R they would have an FDC every 50' down many streets.
What is reasonable?
