Greetings,

Is a suspended ceiling allowed below the joists with no drywall or
other fire protection in a single family residential home? Are bare
joists allowed with no drywall or suspended ceiling tiles?

Thanks,
William

William, these are questions only your local building inspector can answer

If this is dwelling space over dwellng space, same residence, it is
OK.
Not OK over a garage or in multifamily dwellings

Thank you very much for your reply. If you didn't "just know" it would
be helpful to me to know where you derived this information so that I
can read up on it myself.

Thanks again,
William

International Residential Code. That is the basis for the Florida
Building Code that I deal with. You are looking at fire rated
walls/ceilings.
In R3 construction you need a 1 hour fire rated ceiling above a
garage.
