The sprinkler criteria appears to reference only a single riser, whereas the plan was submitted with 2 risers (one in the riser room, and one in suite JR106. In addition the approved DRC site plan indicates 3 risers, one for each suite. Ensure that the EOR in on board with 2 risers. (His approval of the shop drawing will demonstrate this)
