In a multi-use buildings (Residential/Commercial) common area kitchens. Does the same rules for kitchen countertop receptacle placement for residential apply (2-4 rule above countertops)?

Is there a solid wall and doors between a non-dwelling-unit kitchen and the rest of the building that houses multiple dwelling units? Or is this just a big house with multiple sleeping quarters and there is a kitchen down the hall? Does each room have its own bathroom, or is that common, too?

Certainly I would say that the REASON for the 2-4 rule still exists.

No requirement for specific receptacle spacing, or even any receptacles at all, but if is a "kitchen", 210.8(B)(2) would apply to any receptacles that are installed.
