Hello,
Picture this......
A 4 unit town home with a contiguous roof system
In the attic, there is a truss system with plywood sheathing.
As per code there are solid fire barriers at the ends of each unit in the attic
but......
There are no horizontal / lateral supports running from one unit to the next (through the fire barrier)
In fact, what bracing there is in each units attic is not even connected to the barrier wall.
I have searched, but can not find if this is framed correctly?
