Yep, and if this guy had a fire in one of the occupancies, I bet he'd file a FD Malpractice lawsuit because the fire reached flashover in 3:30, while they were responding and they caused the loss of contents and or the entire building.
While the full story raises some issues, approving the building and fire code "sign offs " is not just going in an "pencil whipping" the form for approval.
In California, such a change in this type of occupancy, would be the new construction would probably have to have a residential sprinkler system installed also.
Another "whining" complaint he'd make if it was required in Ohio.

This will be an interesting case to watch.
