The New York City Fire Code regulates fire safety in the operation and
maintenance of all buildings, and establishes design requirements for
a wide range of building installations. The Fire Code is a companion code
to the New York City Construction Codes and Zoning Resolution, with extensive
cross-references to the Building, Mechanical and Electrical Codes.
The Fire Code is newly-amended in 2014 to adopt many of the latest fire
safety technologies and standards from the International Fire Code, together
with important New York City-specific provisions. The 2014 Fire Code comprehensively
amends the emergency preparedness requirements for buildings and occupancies,
and makes significant changes in provisions relating to fire apparatus
access roads and building frontage spaces; rooftop access and obstructions;
rooftop solar panel installations; construction site fire safety standards;
fire watch and notification requirements for out-of-service building fire
protection systems; building and apartment identification standards; and
use of medical oxygen, portable electric space heaters and halogen lamps.
The 2014 Fire Code is an indispensable reference for design professionals,
building owners and managers, and others engaged in trades and businesses
regulated by the Fire Code, to ensure that buildings or facilities for
which they are responsible are lawfully designed, operated and maintained.
The Fire Code amendments took effect on March 30, 2014.
