This article is only applicable to those structures where suppression
systems are not required by any other adopted code.
After the date of adoption of this chapter, in locations where
a public water supply presently exists, no new-construction building
used or designed for permanent or temporary human residence, of three
or more stories and/or six or more attached wood-frame units, other
than a single-family dwelling, shall be permitted to be constructed
unless furnished with a sprinkler system installed in accordance with
standards set forth in the current adopted Fire Prevention and Building
Code and NFPA Standard 13, 13D, or 13R.
All systems required by the preceding sections or by any of
the adopted codes must be serviced and maintained per NFPA 25 or the
appropriate governing NFPA standard. Documentation of the maintenance
must be submitted to the Bedford Fire Department on an annual basis.
