Have a small five-story restaurant and apartment building (each floor level is only 3,000 sqft), and it's under NFPA 13-2010. Is each floor level of the sprinkler system required to have it's own isolation valve and flow switch?

if you have a five story building you probably have a standpipe system. NFPA 14 requires combination systems to have specific requirements, basically a check valve and a floor control valve assembly (all components for a new system) be provided.
