I guess the less than wonderful housing market escaped the notice of the Pennsylvania construction code review board.
This week, they decided to implement a requirement for fire sprinklers in ALL new homes.
No showing of any need. When was the last time anyone heard of a loss of life in a home with functioning smoke detectors? Structural loss? Smoke damage versus flood damage from frozen sprinkler heads up in the attic areas.
Let's just add $5,000 to the cost of the average new home in Pennsylvania.
