[Extra One & One]

As a rule of thumb, 8 stories and below will generally get a 10-75, above 8 stories gets 10-76 or 10-77. I realize it’s not a hard and fast rule.

Also, in NYC, is the code that buildings 8 stories and above require a standpipe system? thanks

Just because a building is 7 or 8 stories doesn’t mean it’s more than 75’ in height.

Well, not so much a rule of thumb. In NYC, unless they changed the codes, buildings 75' or greater in height require a standpipe system, not the number of stories. I've had buildings in the So. Bronx that were 7 stories, but were just inches below the 75' mark from grade level. They were a stretch!
Also, I've seen, and been to, buildings 6 stories and less, with a large sq. ft. area per floor, where the chief transmitted a 10-76 or 10-77. Due to the occupancy and possible number of occupants per floor, the I.C. felt it beneficial for the extra units at the onset to assist in search and evacuation from the upper floors. . .

But we can also say in certain Divisions they are allowed to just use the 10-75 and not the 10-77 / 10-76….
