Firestopping between multi-family units can be easily misunderstood. I can't count the number of times I've heard "this this how we've always done it" only to have an inspector fail the attempt. Firestopping and fire rating can be quickly and easily explained by an experienced consultant. City inspectors are not expected to be teachers nor are they likely to take the time to walk contractors through the assemblies. Zero45 Consulting will not only walk people through the required fire stopping but will teach them how to proceed on the next site. Solving the quandary of firestopping doesn't need a cipher, just guidance.
