I have seen “live/work” loft spaces that were permitted for hybrid residential space that were modified and leased to commercial businesses such as a coffee shop, tailor shop and café. These were conceived as “community amenities” by the developer and when they got popped by the AHJ, they sought my services as a consultant to help them get out of the situation. Like you, I passed and am not sure how it resolved.

I believe the system design is NFPA 13R (not sure but it looks like it). My guess this is under the radar of the local authorities. Has anyone else run into this and how have you dealt with it? For this and other reasons, I said I want nothing to do with this place. Therefore, this is a just rhetorical question.
