Historical buildings present unique challenges for installing modern fire protection systems like those outlined in NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R. While these standards generally apply to all residential buildings, including historical structures, there may be special considerations based on the building's historical significance, structural condition, and preservation guidelines. Collaboration between local building codes and historical preservation authorities is crucial to determine appropriate fire safety measures that balance preservation requirements with modern safety standards. Property owners and developers should consult with fire safety experts and historical preservation professionals to navigate these complexities effectively.
