§  191.  Wainscoting. Wainscoting in any stair or public hall shall be  removed unless such wainscoting is backed against a  fire-retarded  wall  or  the  stair or hall is equipped with a sprinkler system conforming to  the provisions of section one hundred eighty-seven. Where wainscoting is  removed in order to fire-retard a public hall or stair, such wainscoting  may be replaced or additional wainscoting may be  applied  to  make  the  surfaces  of  any new partitions or walls conform to existing partitions  or walls provided such additional wainscoting is similarly  backed  with  fire-retarded materials.
