Re: Dwelling unit seperation

does this apply here as well
**Also, I see no fire protection for the roof sheathing extending out 4 feet, is there a 30" high parapet wall at that fire rated wall penetrating up through the roof and 30" above the roof? Should be, or that roof sheathing needs to be protected for at least 4 feet out from each side of the wall (an 8 foot piece is too short as you do not measure from the center of the wall, from each side of the wall).**

This is a 1982 home. I guess these are row houses. 2 higher end homes butted together on the beach, cmu walls do not extend to roof. there obviously never was any sheathing protection and i do not see it on the older homes i inspect in this area, but the newer ones do?
