type II
The primary factors in the calculation are: the type of occupancy, along with the available floor space and the available means of egress. When creating or modifying a building, the building use and occupancy load determine the fire resistance requirements. Or the desired type and occupancy load may help determine the necessary area and means of egress. Buildings are classified by the ICC (International Code Council) by group and division. Groups - defined Group A - Assembly Group B - Business Group E - Educational Group F - Factory and Industrial Group H - Hazardous Group I - Industrial Group M - Mercantile Group R - Residential Group S - Storage Group u - Utility Each group mostly has more than one division, categorized by number; I.E. Group A Division 1 , which is the most stringent category for fire resistant materials and means of egress code rules, is more stringent than Group A Division 4. Like wise , Group U Division 2, which is the lowest requirements is less stringent than Group U Division 1 requirements. In summary, the lower the letter and number, the more stringent are the fire resistive , and means of egress components. To know the fire resistive construction and means of egress requirements of your building, consult the building code book for your state ; which may supersede the I.C.C. To be absolutely sure ,consult with your local building department with information about what kind of use the building is intended for , how big of an occupancy intended , and whether or not it is connected or near to another business of same or different classification.

There is no official legal occupancy limit in Philadelphia. Most landlords though restrict 3 adults to a one bedroom apartment.
First determine the total square footage of both floors. Second, determine the hazard occupancy (low, moderate, or high) by reading examples written in the NFPA10, 2007 Edition, Standard For Portable Fire Extinguishers on page 10-23. If you are installing 10 lb. ABC Dry Chemical extinguishers (the most common type and size), most of them are UL rated at 4-A. A 4-A extinguisher will protect the following: low hazard occupancy - 11,250 sq. ft. ;ordinary hazard occupancy - 6,000 sq. ft. :high hazard occupancy - 4,000 sq. ft. Next divide your total square feet by the square feet of the occupancy hazard and you have your MINIMUM number of 4-A rated fire extinguishers required. You may have to add extinguishers due to the building layout. From any place in the building, you have to be able to walk to a fire extinguisher in no more than 75 feet (75 foot maximum travel distance). Lastly if there are any special hazards (computer room, electrical room, flammable liquids, etc.), they should be protected separately in addition to the building's fire extinguishers.
Your local building official will tell you that ANY change of use to a dwelling or other habitation or human occupancy may require a certificate, regardless of what the building was used for or how long ago it was built. Modern code regulates most changes to existing structures.

that depends upon what type of sprinkler it is, what type of occupancy it is installed in, what standards apply for inspection, and any special circumstances that may require more frequent inspection (e.g., level of hazard, partial sprinkler coverage, freezing season, etc). NFPA 25, for example, contains charts for the required inspection frequency for various components of water-based fire protection systems. Certain sections of NFPA 101 may grant some leeway on some elements or on the required frequency, depending upon the type of occupancy and the level of hazard being protected.
