Contractor’s Note: Scope of Work
The fire protection scope of work does not seem to correlate with the building department scope of work. This review is based on the scope of work indicated in the fire sprinkler application. The field inspector may approve the fire permit. However, the Certificate of Occupancy may be held and not granted until all fire protection work within the building department scope of work is verified. New drawings showing all the sprinklers within the building department scope of work are required to be submitted and reviewed if changes are necessary.
