Sec. 24-19 adopts NFPA 1 and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code as the city's fire safety standard. Sec. 24-20(3) requires automatic sprinklers in all new nonresidential buildings 5,000+ sq ft and triggers retroactive sprinklers when renovations add 5,000+ sq ft to existing structures.
Florida Fire Prevention Code (codified at F.A.C. ch. 69A-60), NFPA 1 (Uniform Fire Code), and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) — all in the Florida editions — apply citywide. Sec. 24-20(3) is stricter than baseline NFPA: any new nonresidential 5,000+ sq ft building requires a sprinkler system with electronic supervision per NFPA 72. Sec. 24-20(1) requires Knox-style access boxes at every sprinklered or alarmed building with 24-hour notice of any key change. Residential smoke detectors must comply with the Florida Building Code Existing Building §1107.6 (interconnected smoke alarms in dwellings built after 1994). Sec. 24-20(4) requires on-site fire mains and hydrants whenever any part of a facility is more than 500 ft from a public-street water supply.
Sec. 1-22(b)(21) fines $200 for NFPA 101 violations; Sec. 1-22(b)(22) fines $150 for other NFPA code violations; Sec. 1-22(b)(23) fines $150 for Florida Fire Prevention Code violations. Fire chief may issue stop-occupancy orders for unsafe conditions.
