Some cities mandate larger buildings have BDA systems installed through building codes. That's the only way I see it ever getting done. It eliminates the game of "who's going to pay for this?" and during construction is the best time to install one.

It's actually a statewide mandate, has been for several years; the state building code (which covers anything local ordinances do not) has a section specifically mandating BDA installation if the fire chief says it's necessary. Based on the NFPA recommendation which came out several years ago.

Why Bay Village hasn't used it is puzzling.
