I have 13 and 13R buildings at a residential job that have narrow overhangs above some top floor balconies. The overhangs are scabbed on to the side of the building, and are not part of the roof. They range from 10’-0” to 13’-0” above the balconies. It is impossible to run wet pipe up to feed a dry sidewall below them. Are sprinklers required below these balconies? 8.15.7.1 tells me no. Also, IBC 903.3.1.2.1 also tells me no. I’ve uploaded a photo for reference.
