One thing that may be true (this will vary highly with jurisdictions) is
that buildings which block the effective use of radio bands used by the
fire service may be required to install a repeater.  This isn't a /ban/
on such constructions, but rather an additional requirement for those
who do.  Not all jurisdictions will require this, but some will: NYC,
for example, it's section 917.1.2 of the NYc building Code and FC511 of
the New York City Fire Code.

(Nationally and internationally, the model codes are in Annex O of the
NFPA 1 and IBC 915 / IFC 510.  Reviewing these may be difficult;
unfortunately, building codes are proprietary in most jurisdictions.)
