Re: Code-change alert: Fire sprinklers in all new homes

I am in the middle of a 3 story 3 unit rehab. my permit expires 10/10/2009. the code enforcement officer tells me that if I don't complete and get a cert of occupancy I will need to install a sprinkler system. my understanding is that the new code doesn't take effect until 2011, i should be complete before 2010. Am I paranoid or is the inspector being over zealous.

thanks for any input
