Generally, fire-rated materials are required to separate fire zones.
That can mean between a common hallway and a dwelling unit. It could
be between a mechanical room and a dwelling unit. I don't know if
I've even seen it required within a fire zone (dwelling unit) but I
don't tend to work in large cities (which could have significantly
different rules).
