referenced by the 2006 IBC

We've had similar experiences, but when questioned, no one can produce a code 
reference to back it up.

Hello Ed.Tambini,

I know here that anything that enters the elevator room can not exit the room 
unless it goes directly into the shaft. Had a building that had been here 20 
years, Got a new owner who did the typical paint/wallpaper make over. When the 
elevator inspector came out the sprinkler pipe passing through the equipment 
room on the roof to a mechanical room on the roof had to be removed before he 
would certify the elevator. The pipe was rerouted from the floor below, Had to 
tear out a bunch of finished work to do the coring.
