Understanding and Resolving FDNY Violations in New York City

In New York City, receiving a violation from the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) can be stressful and costly. These violations typically relate to fire safety code issues such as missing fire extinguishers, blocked exits, malfunctioning alarms, or improper sprinkler systems. If ignored, they can lead to fines, court appearances, and even shutdown orders.

 

What is an FDNY Violation?

An FDNY violation is issued when a building does not comply with the New York City Fire Code. There are several types, including:

• VC Violations – Violation Categories (e.g., VC1 for not maintaining a fire alarm system)
• Cureable Violations – Can be corrected and dismissed if proof is submitted on time
• OATH Summons – Requires a hearing at the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings

Common Reasons for FDNY Violations

• Missing or expired fire extinguishers
• Blocked fire exits or stairways
• Faulty or uninspected fire alarm systems
• Lack of proper signage (e.g., exit signs)
• Non-compliance with emergency lighting or sprinklers

How to Remove an FDNY Violation

1. Hire a fire safety professional to inspect and correct the violation.
2. Gather proof of correction (receipts, photos, FDNY inspection reports).
3. Submit Certificate of Correction to the FDNY or OATH if required.
4. Attend hearings for OATH summons if necessary.
