Rehabbing in 4 Unit and trying to avoid adding Fire Sprinklers

[Barima Opong-Owusu]

Does anyone have experience with multifamily and fire sprinkler code?  I'm currently rehabbing a 4 unit in Detroit and my plans have been stuck in plan review due to fire plan drawings.  When I spoke with the inspector he made it sound as if there are scenarios where you don't have to add fire sprinklers.  To do that, you'd have to be able to point to and site the specific code and exemption in your plans. Has anyone ever experienced this scenario or have experience specifically in Michigan with Michigan Rehabilitation Code.
