§ 58.72. Automatic sprinkler systems.
Automatic sprinkler protection shall comply with § 50.72 (relating to automatic sprinkler systems). All buildings or structures meeting the definition of high rise buildings in § 49.1 (relating to definitions) shall be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system.
Notes of Decisions Exceptions
The regulations exempt cities of the first class from complying with Chapters 49—59, which require high rise buildings to have an automatic sprinkler system. A city of the first class has a population of 1 million or more under 53 P. S. § 101 (1993). Because Philadelphia was a city of the first class the city was not bound by the Pennsylvania Code provisions.
