When are Sprinklers Required in 1-4 Unit Multis?

Hi everyone!

I just purchased a four unit property in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. The house is currently laid out as a quad (with all separate utilities) and the previous owner had obtained a variance approval just before closing. We are in the process now of waiting to receive the certificate of occupancy for use as a quad.

My question is related to the requirement for a sprinkler system. In Philadelphia, when is a sprinkler system required to be installed in old properties with 4 units or less?

Thanks!
