No fire alarm, It's a building permit in essence to replace a rated opening in a 2 hour wall with the correct
type/rating of door, or operating mechanism if that's what you've heard.
He may not know what to submit. I suggest at minimum a 8.5xl 1 plan of garage area, specifications sheet for
mechanism/door, and a narrative for scope of work. I suppose fee it like any building modification permit.

Re: Wet vs. drypipe rqmt
Existing configuration: Combination 4" line with domestic T runs thru COE approved check valve assembly to
(wet design) SP riser. FDC connection enters line downstream of check valves to standpipe (SP) riser. Valve
ass'y (located interior basement) currently shutoff by 1994 FM approval (no record-?), renders wet -designed
standpipe dry. Application currently defined as Manual -dry system iaw 2000 NFPA 14. Successful
pentannual SP maintenance provided '95, '00, '05.
Current: COE Water Dept requires a replacement DCDA.
8/2/77 FID memo requires wet standpipe SP only installed iaw per UBC 3804 & UBC Standard 38-1.
1973 UBC requires dry SP in all buildings 4 or more stories in height Sec. 3803 (b) and wet SP in H (hotels...
4 or more stories in height Sec. 3804 (b).
2006 IFC requires SP where 30'difference from lowest level of FD access to floor of highest story.
Disadvantage WET:
Cannot run through unheated areas. Unheated areas/modifications have been approved under Manual -dry
arrangement.
Disadvantage DRY:
Volume fill (20 g for each 30'of 4" pipe).
Leaks go undetected until testing, however NFPA 25 acknowledges and requires pentannual hydrostatic test.
Resolved:
Maintain Manual dry standpipe. Disconnect Backflow assembly on wet standpipe riser per COE Water Dept
requirements. Maintain standpipe as required by NFPA 25 and fire alarm iaw NFPA 72.

1 talked with Jim from the condos today. The door will be repaired soon and I requested a certification on the proper
functioning of the fire door (annual certification).
I'm on it.
Thanks for the notice.
5-4-05 Contacted Jim and looked at the door. Due to the amount of damage I would say the door will not function properly
if activated by a fire.
The options I gave Jim were 1) fix the door 2) drop the door and secure it in place 3) remove the door and construct a fire
wall of the required rating. I also suggested he get a copy of the building plans and see whether the door could be
replaced with an alternate design or possibly removed.
Jim will be bringing this up with the condo association this week.

During a walk thru while working on pre -fire plans we noticed that the roll down fire door is probably non functional due
to its not being in the track, damaged shroud and questionable attachments on fusible link chain. It appears it may
have b ' een struck by a vehicle. After it's repaired they might want to hang a plastic pipe on chains at the entrances to
prevent future accidents from occurring.
