Sprinkler retrofits cost ~$2–$7 per sq ft — but TX law didn't require them.

At the time of the 2018 Iconic Village fire, Texas did not mandate sprinkler retrofits in older apartment buildings. The cost of upgrades is often cited as the reason landlords resist — despite sprinklers cutting fire death risk by up to 80%.
