Eli5 – Max occupancy rule and fire hazard

152 views

I am trying to understand if/how the max occupancy rules can be a fire hazard. I am hosting a lunch for my friends (8 including me) in my one room apt. No one is staying overnight. Only 5-6 hours max. Where do I lookup if I am breaching any rules or what are my responsibilities?

I tried to search the state laws but they are only for overnight guests. But I want to make sure I don’t do anything I am not supposed to even if it’s only a few hours .

For a private party you don’t have to worry.

The limits are for businesses so that you can generally trust that a business isn’t going to sell 200 tickets to an event that can really only safely fit 100 people at a time.
