Dealing with FDNY (Fire Department of New York) violations can be daunting for property owners and managers in New York City. These violations not only pose safety risks but can also lead to hefty fines and legal complications if not addressed promptly. Understanding the nature of these violations and the steps required for their removal is crucial.
Understanding FDNY Violations
FDNY violations are issued when a property fails to comply with the city's fire codes and regulations. Common reasons include:
- Blocked or obstructed fire exits
- Non-functional fire alarms or sprinkler systems
- Improper storage of flammable materials
- Lack of required fire safety signage
- Unpermitted alterations affecting fire safety
These violations can be categorized as:
- Notice of Violation (NOV): Requires correction within a specified timeframe.
- Summons: May require a court appearance and can lead to fines.
Steps to Remove FDNY Violations
- Review the Violation Notice: Carefully read the violation to understand the specific issues cited.
- Consult with Professionals: Engage licensed professionals, such as fire safety consultants or contractors, to assess and address the violations.
- Perform Necessary Corrections: Implement the required changes to bring the property into compliance.
- File a Certificate of Correction: Submit the necessary documentation to the FDNY, demonstrating that the violations have been corrected.
- Schedule a Re-inspection (if required): Some violations may necessitate a follow-up inspection to verify compliance.
- Attend Hearings (if summoned): If you've received a summons, attend the scheduled hearing and present evidence of compliance.
